Duane Martin has made his stance on the recent Will Smith rumours very clear. After Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett denied the out-of-nowhere sex claims, Duane Martin has also weighed in.
The Fresh Prince stars have had a life-long friendship since meeting on the set of the 90s hit show. However, one person made allegations that the two are much closer than that.
Will has had a difficult year, with Jada revealing intimate details about their marriage and alleged secret split, and keeping mostly quiet on his personal matters.
Recently, Will was forced to face a rumour that he and Duane, 58, had an intimate relationship and were caught by Will's former assistant. Will, 55, called the claims “unequivocally false”, but his friend has now also addressed them - by not addressing them at all.
TMZ reports that sources shared that Duane will not dignify the sex rumour with a response. This could be because Duane has been married to actress Tisha Campbell-Martin for years, and they have two sons.
The rumour first emerged after an interview with a man who claimed to be Will’s former personal assistant, Brother Bilaal, went viral on TikTok. In it, he alleges that he once walked in on the two men having a sexual encounter in the I, Robot star’s dressing room. At this time, Will was married to Jada, and Duane was married to Tisha Campbell, who he split with in 2020.
Will’s spokesperson spoke out on the matter, saying “This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false." It is also said that Will is considering taking legal action over the claims.
Will and Duane have been lifelong friends in the industry, and even Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith has commented on the rumours. When leaving NYC’s iHeartRadio on Wednesday, Jada declared to awaiting paparazzi, “We suin[g]!”
This statement could be related to the complex relationship between Will and Jada, who have seemingly separated in 2016, and despite still living in separate houses, they have no plans to divorce and are “working towards” reconciling.
The Agency has reached out to Will, Jada, and Duane for comment, though it is unlikely that Duane will comment on the “false” rumours. Nevertheless, the public awaits their statements, and will be sure to update if any new information is revealed.
