Violinist Accuses Will Smith Of Sexual Harassment In New Lawsuit

Musician Brian King Joseph alleges that Will Smith began "grooming and priming" him "for further sexual exploitation" in 2024.

For Will Smith to find himself ensnared in yet another controversy lowers his stock even more on the market.

Now, with the latest news of violinist Brian King Joseph alleging that Smith triggered his PTSD and psychological damage.

Apparently, Will Smith left a sexually charged note in Joseph’s hotel room along with HIV drugs, and a bottle of beer among other items.

Joseph had worked at the hotel and reported it. In time, he received walking papers. He continued to paint Smith as a bad portrait, saying that the rapper and Academy Award winner had said he had “a connection” with Joseph like none other.

From the slap at the Oscars® against Chris Rock, it’s truly been mixed feelings towards Smith. He still has talent but his outbursts and questionable behavior with men dim his star.

What he keeps on doing is straddling a line between bravura performances and outlandish acts (some allegedly) off set or from outside the booth.

Joseph seems particularly clear in his allegations. It’s not to say he’s telling the whole truth, but it appears that Smith is certainly on a dangerous path.

The sexually charged notions have been fueling Smith’s sexuality concerns. If he is on the down low, he should just make it known for his own mental stability.

The stories that have surfaced about the entertainer is the idea he doesn’t have too much self-control. What is important about all of this is the reality that the man may need to seek psychiatric care.

With all the entanglement mess, homosexual allegations and the insecurity when it comes to jokes about his wife, Smith needs to pursue a counselor for his mind.

To consider this latest development regarding the relationship that Smith might have thought he possessed with Joseph just didn’t materialize in the way he thought it should have done.

With charges including false termination, Smith is being scrutinized for his wayward actions. When it comes to sexual abuse, it is something that can show up but shouldn’t be blamed on negative behavior.

Will Smith might want to just tell the truth about himself. He should turn on the light, look in the mirror, and then switch it off and tell his family about his truth. Then, he should disclose his alleged alternate sexuality.

If he is supposed to be a healthy individual, he ought to step forward under the grace of nature and beauty of reality. That’s how he should view all of this. That’s the way he should present himself.

What Joseph is alleging is not far from the other allegations that have encircled Smith in the past.

Currently, this has been a snare in Smith’s pathway. He must recognize that Joseph's termination from the tour as a musician is still a sticking point in the violinist’s life. He made it clear, on his own terms, that he feared being intruded upon and sexually assaulted.

When he thought of his role as a member of the tour and how he lost his spot as one of the string section instrumentalists, he felt this was a great injustice.

Smith should at least find a mediator and legal counsel if it must come to that. The truth behind all of this will come to the fore in some way or the other.

Whether Will Smith is a pervert is for his psychologist to say even if they don’t use such language. They would say he is some kind of abuser or tempter.

In fact, because of his wealth he should hire a team of lawyers and psychiatrists to help him weather through mental and legal squalls.
