Will Smith has responded to a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by violinist Brian King Joseph, asking a judge to dismiss the case before it moves forward. In new court filings, Smith’s legal team argues the lawsuit has no merit, describing it as an attempt to extract money from the actor, and is asking the judge to dismiss the complaint before it moves forward.

Joseph filed the suit last month, alleging that during a tour stop in Las Vegas he returned to his hotel room and found a note reading, “Brian, I’ll be back… just us,” signed “Stone F.” He also claimed he discovered several personal items in the room, including wipes, a beer bottle, a red backpack, medication labeled with another person’s name, an earring, and hospital discharge paperwork belonging to someone he did not know.

According to Smith’s motion, Joseph acknowledged he does not know who “Stone F” is, yet still named Smith and his company, Treyball Studios, in the lawsuit. Smith’s lawyers say the claims do not directly connect him to what’s being alleged.

The filing also disputes Joseph’s claim that he was invited to join Smith’s tour long-term, stating he was hired on a per-show basis. It further notes that Smith and Joseph were never alone together, challenging allegations of inappropriate conduct.

Smith’s legal team maintains the case is unfounded and says they are prepared to present witnesses who would testify that Joseph was not asked to continue with the group due to alleged erratic behavior and difficulties working with others.

Joseph’s attorney has responded that a jury’s decision will ultimately matter more than Smith’s characterization of the case. The court has yet to rule on Smith’s motion.
