She maintained that Bilal’s claims stem from a “money shakedown” that did not pan out.
“Were gonna take legal action,” said.
“Because its one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories.
So, thats actionable.
So we gonna roll with that.
“So he already tried to do this money shakedown.
Will was willing to give him a certain amount, and he didnt take it.
So, this whole situation is based on that.
Smith toldPEOPLEthrough his representative that the claims are “completely fabricated” and “unequivocally false.”
Representatives for the actor and Martin did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
“You have to because it’s absolutely ridiculous, you know what I’m saying?”
“You just gotta laugh about it.
It’s unfortunate.”
