“From Encore to Courtroom: Violinist Brian King Joseph Drops Major Lawsuit vs. Will Smith!” ⚖️👀

In a bombshell legal twist no one saw coming, professional violinist Brian King Joseph — yes, the dude who rocked his way into fame as a top finalist on America’s Got Talent* — has slapped Will Smith and his management company with a lawsuit that reads like a Hollywood thriller. 💥

Here’s the real tea:

🎻 He was invited to tour with Will. Joseph says Smith tapped him in late 2024 to join the Based on a True Story: 2025 global tour and was even working on tracks for Smith’s upcoming album. According to the lawsuit, things weren’t all sunshine and applause — it allegedly got creepier.

😳 There was a creepy hotel room incident. In March 2025 during a Las Vegas stop, Joseph claims someone with authorized access entered his room (no forced entry) and left behind bizarre items — wipes, a beer bottle, HIV medication with someone else’s name, hospital discharge papers, and a handwritten note saying:

“Brian, I’ll be back no later [sic] 5:30, just us ❤️ – Stone F.”

That note allegedly made Joseph fear an unwanted sexual encounter — a moment he says was terrifying enough to report to hotel security, police, and Will’s own team.

🚫 Then — drama. Instead of support, Joseph says he was shamed by management and told he was being let go under the vague excuse that the tour was “moving in a different direction.” Days later, a NEW violinist was hired — and now Joseph is calling the firing retaliation for speaking up.

👀 All the legal bells and whistles:

• Allegations of sexual harassment

• Claims of retaliation and wrongful termination

• Emotional trauma, financial loss, and PTSD cited in court docs

• Smith’s lawyer calling the claims “false, baseless, and reckless” 💣

This lawsuit is unfolding just weeks after another legal battle hit the Smith family — with Jada Pinkett Smith facing a separate $3M lawsuit from a former associate.

Whether this turns into a scorched-earth trial or ends up settled in private, the receipts are serious — and the spotlight is blazing. 🌶️
