Actor Will Smith is being sued by touring violinist Brian King Joseph, who alleges sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination during Smith’s “Based on a True Story: 2025” tour last spring.
The lawsuit names Smith and Treyball Studios Management as defendants. In the filing, Joseph alleges “predatory behavior,” claiming Smith “intentionally groomed and prepared” him for further sexual exploitation. The complaint asserts that Joseph faced retaliation and was dismissed after resisting the alleged conduct.
Smith and Treyball Studios Management have not publicly commented on the allegations. The claims have not been adjudicated.
