Overview
- Violinist Brian King Joseph filed a civil complaint in Los Angeles on Dec. 30–31, naming Will Smith and Treyball Studios Management as defendants.
- The suit alleges sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation, describing “predatory behavior” and claimed grooming during Smith’s 2025 tour.
- Joseph says his Las Vegas hotel room was unlawfully entered in March 2025, citing a handwritten note signed “Stone F” and items including wipes, a beer bottle, and HIV medication bearing another person’s name.
- He reports notifying hotel security, a non-emergency police line, and tour management, then being shamed, fired days later, and replaced by another violinist.
- The complaint seeks damages and a jury trial and claims PTSD and economic loss; Smith’s attorney Allen B. Grodsky calls the allegations false and baseless, with no trial date announced.
