Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith's Living Arrangement Is Reportedly Financially Draining

The actress revealed in 2023 when she was promoting her memoir "Worthy" that they were separated but yet to sign the dotted lines. Jada noted that it has become hard for them to just straight up divorce and throw all partnerships away due to their family that still binds them.

However, the couple's financial situation felt the pressure of their unusual living arrangement, which basically meant managing two separate homes where each individual resided. 

Will's net worth has reportedly felt the heat of his recent actions, including the episode between him and Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. The impressive financial success of the "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" movie did little to salvage his allegedly declining financial situation.

Last year, The Blast stated that on November 7, Bilaal Salaam sued the actress for allegedly embarking on a verbal and accusation rampage against her. Bilaal claimed he had been friends with the actor for over four decades, and the verbal attack happened during Will's birthday party in September 2021.

The incident reportedly took place in the lobby of the Regency Calabasas Common, during which the actress allegedly warned Bilaal to stop spreading information about her. Jada accompanied her threat with a promise that Salaam would bear the consequences if he persisted.

In Bilaal's lawsuit, he described that Jada approached him in the lobby with about seven members of her entourage, and promised that he would end up "missing or a catch bullet" if he did not sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Jada was sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress because she denied seeing the actor engage in any sexual behavior with men, although Bilaal released a video suggesting otherwise.

Earlier in January, the actor was the subject of a lawsuit filed by Brian King Joseph, a violinist who performed during his "Based on a True Story: 2025" tour. Brian explained that he began a professional relationship with the actor after he played at his home in November.

The violinist was then hired to perform at the actor's December 2024 concert in San Diego before he joined the full tour. The two subsequently became very close during their working relationship, where they spent additional alone time together.

He recalled that their closeness eventually set the stage for inappropriate behavior, including an event where he returned to his hotel room around 11 p.m. and discovered it had been "unlawfully entered" by an "unknown person."
