Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith deny 'ridiculous' claim he slept with Duane Martin, planning 'legal action'

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are denying claims by an alleged former associate who says he saw Smith and actor Duane Martin engaged in sexual activity.

Host Charlamagne tha God asked Pinkett Smith about debunking rumors in her memoir, "Worthy" — specifically about the "No Soccer Mom" chapter where she addresses claims that she and Smith are swingers or gay. That was when the recent claims about Smith and Martin came up.

"Let me just say this, it’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense. And this is a person that tried a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn’t work," Pinkett Smith said. "We’re going to take legal action. Because it’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody, versus just making up salacious, malicious stories. So that’s actionable, we’re going to roll with that."
