Violinist sues Will Smith and management company, claiming wrongful termination and sexual harassment

A violinist who performed on tour with Will Smith has filed a lawsuit against the actor-musician and a management company, accusing them of retaliation, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

According to a complaint filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County court, violinist Brian King Joseph was fired shortly after reporting to police an alleged intrusion into his hotel room, in which materials and a note addressed to him were left in his room while he was away.

CNN has reached out to Smith's representatives and to a contact affiliated with Treyball Studios Management for comment.

Smith's attorney has denied the allegations, according to a statement given toPEOPLEon Thursday.

"Mr. Joseph's allegations concerning my client are false, baseless, and reckless," attorney Allen B. Grodsky said, according to PEOPLE. "They are categorically denied, and we will use all legal means available to address these claims and to ensure that the truth is brought to light."

According to the suit, Joseph was hired in late 2024 for Smith's "Based on a True Story: 2025 Tour" and other performances.

Joseph and Smith developed a close relationship leading up to and during the tour, the suit claims, with Smith telling Joseph at one point, "You and I have such a special connection, that I don't have with anyone else."

The lawsuit centers on an incident in March 2025 in Las Vegas. The suit alleges someone had "unlawfully" entered Joseph's hotel room and left wipes, a beer bottle, a backpack, a bottle of HIV medication and hospital discharge paperwork with another person's name unknown to him, and a note that read: "Brian, I'll be back no later [sic] 5:30, just us (drawn heart), Stone F."

Fearing the unknown individual would return to "engage in sexual acts," Joseph says he notified hotel security and Smith's representatives, took photos of the items and requested a room change, according to the complaint. He also called a local police nonemergency line to report the incident.

Hotel security found no signs of forced entry into the room, according to the suit, and said the only individuals with access to his room would have been with the management team who booked the room.

According to the suit, instead of investigating, tour management later accused Joseph of fabricating the claims and terminated his employment. The lawsuit states he was told the tour was "moving in a different direction," but another violinist was soon hired to fill his role.

Joseph believes Smith was involved in the decision to fire him, according to the suit, and claims Joseph was being "deliberately" groomed and primed "for further sexual exploitation."

At the time of his termination, the suit claims the incident resulted in severe emotional distress, PTSD and economic loss.

Joseph shares video message hinting at legal case

Last week, the violinist posted avideoon Instagram alluding to the incident on tour and the legal dispute.

"Earlier this year, I was hired to be a performer on a major, major tour with somebody who is huge in the industry. So I was excited, you know, proud of myself for getting the opportunity," Joseph said. "Unfortunately, some things happened, and I can't get into the details of exactly what that was, because it's already a legal issue right now, but the reason why I'm speaking out about this is because getting fired or getting blamed or shamed or threatened or anything like that – simply for reporting sexual misconduct or safety threats at work – is not OK."

Joseph captioned the video as an "Important PSA" and encouraged his followers to "stay safe out there and always stand up for your beliefs and what is right no matter what."

"I know that there's a lot of other people out there who have been afraid to speak up, and I understand, and if that's you, I see you," the violinist added in his video message.

"More updates to come soon."

Brad Pitt didn't believe Leonardo DiCaprio when he pointed out his parents on film set: 'That's really them!'

Andrew Cooper/Sony Pictures; Sony Pictures

Leonardo DiCapriois looking back on the time he brought his parents to work andBrad Pittmistook them for extras.

In a recent interview, DiCaprio recalled inviting his father and stepmother to the set of Quentin Tarantino's period dramaOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, where they blended right in with the onscreen talent — to the point where Pitt refused to believe they were his costar's folks and not paid actors.

"I remember that moment, we were turning a corner out of Musso & Frank's onto Hollywood Boulevard and I said to Brad, 'That's my dad and that's my stepmom there,'" DiCapriotoldTimemagazine. "And he goes, 'Ha, ha. Yeah, right.'"

Andrew Cooper/Columbia

The Oscar-winning actor said he tried to convince his costar that it really was his parents they were driving past, but Pitt wouldn't budge.

"I'm like, 'I know they look like they're extras in this movie, but that's really them,'" DiCaprio said as he began to laugh. "That's how they dress every day!'"

He added, "It was an amazing moment. I'll never forget that moment."

DiCaprio explained earlier that his stepmother is a Sikh and his father is from the "hippie counterculture" and "hung out with a lot the underground art movement in Los Angeles in the '70s," hence why their wardrobe was such a perfect fit for the 1969-set film.

9th Circuit rules against ban on open carry of firearms in most California counties

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit Friday ruled against California's ban on open carry of firearms in most counties.

The San Francisco-based court's ruling declared the ban unconstitutional in counties with a population exceeding 200,000. Those counties make up 95% of the state.

According to the written ruling, thepanel of three 9th Circuit judgesfound the ban "is inconsistent with the Second Amendment's right to bear arms as applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment." The ruling came in the lawsuit that gun owner Mark Baird filed against California Attorney General Rob Bonta. It partially affirmed and partially reversed a 2023 ruling by Judge Kimberly J. Mueller of the U.S. District Court for Eastern California.

The Center Square reached out Friday to the state Attorney General's Office, which said, "We are committed to defending California's commonsense gun laws. We are reviewing the opinion and considering all options."

The 9th Circuit panel, which consisted of judges N. Randy Smith, Kenneth K. Lee and Lawrence VanDyke, said they applied the standard set forth in a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. They noted open carry is part of the nation's history and tradition.

"It was clearly protected at the time of the Founding and at the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment," the judges wrote in their ruling. "There is no record of any law restricting open carry at the Founding, let alone a distinctly similar historical regulation."

California failed to present evidence of "a relevant historical tradition of firearm regulation with respect to California's urban open-carry ban," according to the ruling.

The judges said they found Bruen applied to counties with populations exceeding 200,000. But they said they concluded Baird, the plaintiff, waived his "as-applied challenge by not contesting the district court's dismissal" in regard to counties with fewer than 200,000 people. They said they affirm the district court's rejection of Baird's challenge to the open-carry licensing scheme in the less populated counties, which may issue open-carry permits.

One of the judges, Smith, partially concurred and partially dissented with the majority opinion. He said the restrictions on open carry in more populous counties is constitutional.

"My colleagues got this case half right," Smith wrote. "The majority opinion correctly holds that California's open carry licensing scheme is facially constitutional under Bruen. However, my colleagues misread Bruen to prohibit California's other restrictions on open carry."

"We should have affirmed the district court," Smith said, referring to the entire lower court ruling.

Japan says Trump has invited its leader to the US. It comes as ties with China are strained

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump invited Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi during a phone call Friday to visit the United States this year, the Japanese foreign ministry said, in what would be the ultraconservative leader's first trip to the U.S.since taking office in October.

The White House is yet to confirm the call and the invitation. It comes asties between Japan and China have been strained, ramping up tensions in the region. The U.S., a close ally of Japan, is seeking to strengthen its ties with Tokyo but alsostabilize its relationship with Beijingahead of alikely trip by Trump to China in April.

Beijing staged two-daymilitary exercisesin the waters off Taiwan this week. Takaichi, Japan's first female prime minister, infuriated China late last year when she said Chinese military action against Taiwan could begrounds for a Japanese military response, breaking away from former Japanese leaders' strategic ambiguity on the highly sensitive matter.

In a statement Friday, the Japanese foreign ministry said Takaichi and Trump agreed to coordinate for the visit to happen this spring. Kyodo News, Japan's news agency, suggested that Takaichi's trip could coincide with the annual cherry blossom festival in Washington.

The foreign ministry said the two leaders affirmed that they would "carve out a new chapter in the history of the Japan-U.S. alliance" in a year when the U.S. celebrates the250th anniversary of its foundingand that they would "further deepen the friendly relations" between the two nations, including economic and security cooperation.

Takaichi and Trump also agreed on their commitment to promoting cooperation among like-minded partners, including the Japan-U.S.-South Korea partnership, and to a free and open Indo-Pacific, the foreign ministry statement said.

The two exchanged views "mainly on the Indo-Pacific region," the ministry said, but it did not provide details, including whether the two discussed recent actions by Beijing in the region.

China's military drills off Taiwanalso came after the Trump administrationannounced a package of arms sales to Taiwanvalued at more than $11 billion. If approved by Congress, it would represent the largest such aid to the island ever — a move criticized sharply by China.

Beijing claims sovereignty over the self-governed island and vows to seize it — by force if necessary. The U.S. is obligated by a domestic law to provide Taiwan with sufficient hardware to deter any attack from the mainland.

Trump on Monday said he was not informed of the exercises in advance but still touted his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Trump met Takaichi in Tokyo in October, shortly after she took office. The two exchanged warm words, andTrump took her with himwhen he spoke to U.S. troops aboard an aircraft carrier in Japan.

After Takaichi's Taiwan comments angered Beijing, Trump called her andsaid they were "extremely good friends"and that she should call him any time, according to the Japanese leader, without disclosing if the two talked about her remarks.

Who is Christian Sturdivant, the teen accused of plotting terror attack on New Year's Eve?

A North Carolina teenager who the FBI says planned to carry out aNew Year's Eveattack inspired by theIslamic Statewas on an agency watchlist for years before his arrest on Dec. 31.

Christian Sturdivant, an 18-year-old Burger King worker, was arrested and charged with plotting a "potential terrorist attack" on a grocery store and fast food restaurant in his suburban Charlotte hometown of Mint Hill, authoritiesannouncedon Jan. 2.

Sturdivant "pledged his loyalty to ISIS" and intended to become a martyr "to support the murder, torture andextreme violencethat ISIS represents," according to FBI Special Agent in Charge James Barnacle.

Barnacle said that the North Carolina teen's affiliation with the extremist group represents "the very real threat posed by people who self-radicalize online."

It wasn't immediately clear if Sturdivant had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

Here's what we know about Sturdivant.

More:FBI says it foiled 'potential terrorist attack' on New Year's Eve

What charges is Christian Sturdivant facing?

Sturdivant is charged with attempting to provide material support for a foreign terrorist organization. The charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison, officials said.

"He was preparing for jihad and innocent people were going to die, and we are very, very fortunate they did not," said Russ Ferguson, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.

Was Christian Sturdivant known to authorities?

Sturdivant's arrest comes about three years after another alleged plot first landed him on an FBI watchlist.

In January 2022, Sturdivant first made online contact with a member of ISIS based in Europe, according to federal court filings in the Western District of North Carolina.

The ISIS member told Sturdivant to "dress all in black, knock on people's doors, and attack them with a hammer," a criminal complaint says. The teen left his house dressed in black to "kill his neighbor with a hammer and knife," but his grandfather restrained him and brought him home, court filings say.

Sturdivant underwent psychiatric care and had his social media access restricted, Barnacle said. Sturdivant's grandfather also secured knives that were in the home, he said.

Before the attempted attack, Sturdivant pledged "Bayat," or oath of allegiance, to ISIS, according to the FBI.

The United States launched airstrikes in Nigeria against Islamic State militants on Christmas Day after President Donald Trump threatened in November to go into the country "guns-a-blazing" over what he called a "mass slaughter" of Christians.

How did alleged New Year's Eve plot come about?

Sturdivant had been planning the alleged New Year's Eve plot for about a year and was planning to attack people with knives and hammers, Ferguson said.

Authorities say they became aware of the threat after Sturdivant − a "prolific poster" on social media − shared his plans online with FBI agents posing as ISIS supporters.

Among the evidence found by authorities under Sturdivant's bed: knives, hammers and notes detailing his plans, Ferguson said.

Social media account inspired by ISIS chief leader

FBI investigators tracking Sturdivant's online activities linked him to a social media account with the display name "Abu-Bakr-Al-Amriki," court filings say. The account published multiple posts showing support for ISIS.

The display name is an apparent homage to ISIS' leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who became infamous worldwide after he proclaimed himself caliph in 2014, led ISIS to capture large swathes of Iraq and Syria and imposed in the region a fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic Shari'a law to carry out mass killings.

Al-Amriki is Arabic for "the American" or "of America." The display name, FBI investigators say, signalled Sturdivant's aspirations to be an American al-Baghdadi.

Al-Baghdadi died by suicide in October 2019 during a U.S. military operation.

What did Sturdivant say online?

The North Carolina teen repeatedly posted online in favor of ISIS and jihad, court filings show. Among his posts was a photo showing military-style gloves with a reference to a chapter of the Quran that refers to war with enemies of Islam, the records say.

Another post showed a ballistic vest with a caption reading: "Islam is on the rise. May Allah curse the crusade coalition." And in December, one of his posts showed two Jesus figurines and the caption: "May Allah curse the cross worshipers."

FBI agents became more directly involved after they say Sturdivant posted a photo that authorities interpreted as a signal that he would stage an attack around Christmas. The post was on Dec. 11.

"I will do jihad soon," the FBI says Sturdivant told undercover agents on Dec. 13. In other exchanges, the 18-year-old told agents that for a year he had been planning an attack in a public place on "Christian pagans and lgbtq."

There have been a few notable terrorist attacks during the holiday season, including a 2016 attack in Berlin that left 12 dead and dozens injured after a man drove a truck through a Christmas market. The driver, Anis Amri, hadpledged allegianceto ISIS.
