Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sheree Zampino has filed a lawsuit against Bilaal Salaam, a onetime friend of Will Smith, after he appeared on Tasha K’s podcast and allegedly made claims about her romantic life.
Zampino, who was married to Smith in the 1990s, is seeking more than $1 million in damages. In court documents, she says Salaam claimed she had been “sleeping with everyone in Hollywood,” and that he even used the word “whore” while speaking about her more than once during the interview.
Zampino claims the remarks were slanderous and left her dealing with humiliation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and mental anguish. She is also asking that her legal fees be covered.
Salaam’s friendship with Smith appeared to fall apart after an interview in which he made graphic allegations about the couple’s private life and later claimed Pinkett Smith threatened him and filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit.
Zampino and Smith were married for three years before separating, and she later appeared on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the cast.
