As per the report by National Enquirer (via Radar Online), Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s new roomie deal is just a fancy PR move.

It’s to patch things up after their strained reputation with a gay s*x scandal and the Oscars slap gate. A source told the outlet that both the celebs are “carefully crafting narratives” about themselves. The insider said:

“Will and Jada are putting on a united front, ending their seven-year separation and choosing to live under the same roof once again. They are openly declaring their commitment to each other, portraying themselves as a happy couple after the recent messy revelations about their relationship. But while they insist that they’re back together, some doubt lingers. The couple’s tendency to manage their public image through carefully crafted narratives is no secret.”

These concerning reports came after Duane Martin’s and Will Smith’s controversy. Rumor has it that Smith and Martin were more than just pals – like, a bit too close for comfort.

There, Jada Pinkett Smith talked about all those pesky rumors swirling around her long-lasting marriage with the Pennsylvania native since 1997— even about being a swinger or gay.

When Charlamagne asked the actress how it feels to have some of “those same rumors out about people you love like Will and Duane” in 2023, the TV host replied, “Let me just say this. It’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense.”

During an interview with Unwine With Tasha K, an individual named Brother Bilal claimed that he walked in on Smith and Martin having s*x. But Smith affirmed that the allegations are “not true.”

As per her, Bilal had teamed up with Smith on his book. So he’s making things up because he felt that he didn’t get paid enough for it.
