Jada Pinkett Smith has asked a court to dismiss a 3 million dollar lawsuit filed by her husband Will's former friend

Jada Pinkett Smith has asked a court to dismiss a $3 million lawsuit filed by her husband Will's former friend.

The 54-year-old star has accused musician Bilaal Salaam - who is suing the Gotham actress for intentional infliction of emotional distress - of making "false" and "uncorroborated" statements.

In court documents obtained by the Daily Mail newspaper, she alleged that he has hoped "to generate attention as part of an ongoing public campaign of harassment directed at" her family.

She alleged that the remarks he cited in his lawsuit against her were "constitutionally protected" and she had the right to make them "on a matter of intense public interest about her family".

As reported by PEOPLE magazine, in the motion Jada wants the complaint struck in its entirety, as she alleged it's in conflict with California's anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) Act.

She claimed that the statute "provides a procedure for weeding out, at an early stage, meritless claims arising from protected activity".

The dispute revolves around Salaam's claims on the Unwine With Tasha K podcast that he walked in on Will Smith and actor Duane Martin engaged in a sexual act.

Jada later dismissed the claims as "nonsense" in a conversation with The Breakfast Club.

Her motion to dismiss reads: "Plaintiff voluntarily gave media interviews claiming – without evidence – that he personally witnessed her husband, actor Will Smith, engaging in sexual acts.

"Plaintiff’s allegations were false, uncorroborated, and made to generate attention as part of an ongoing public campaign of harassment directed at Defendant and her family."

Salaam is also known as Brother Bilaal and has described himself as a "best friend" of Will Smith "for nearly 40 years".
