A case of sexual harassment has been filed against actor Will Smith, with a violinist from his Based on a True Story 2025 tour accusing the Hollywood star and his management company of misconduct and wrongful termination.
Brian King Joseph, who performed with Smith during the tour, has filed a lawsuit against the actor and his management firm, Treyball Studios Management, in a Los Angeles court. The suit, filed on December 31, alleges sexual harassment, retaliation and wrongful dismissal following an incident that reportedly took place during the tour’s Las Vegas stop in March. According to the complaint reviewed by Variety, Joseph claims he returned to his hotel room—booked by Smith’s company—to find signs that someone had entered without his consent. He alleges discovering a sexually suggestive message, wipes, a beer bottle, HIV medication prescribed to another individual, and hospital discharge paperwork. Among the items was a handwritten note that read, “Brian, I’ll be back no later [sic] 5:30, just us,” followed by a heart symbol and the name “Stone F.”
Joseph states that he immediately informed hotel security and alerted representatives from Smith’s team. He also reported the matter to a non-emergency police line.
