American actor Tommy Davidson spilled some tea about the time he had a run-in with Will Smith over Jada Pinkett Smith. The 59-year-old personality appeared on an episode of Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast where he spoke about the same. During the episode, he discussed the time he was working on the 1998 romantic-comedy film, Woo, with Pinkett. He said that he had a confrontation with Will after he had kissed her for the ending scene which wasn't discussed before.

“Me and Will had a run-in. He came into the trailer and I was sitting down. He’s standing over me and he’s like, ‘I don’t appreciate that, man. I don’t appreciate that.’ And I’m like, ‘What you talking about?’ I always know to play it off. And I’m like, ‘What’s going on man? Tell me what’s happening.’ And since he was standing and I was sitting, I was a real nice fella. That’s about physics.”

Tommy Davidson said that he did not understand what was happening but was certain that Will Smith "might do something."

"And Jada’s going, ‘Will. Will!’ And I’m saying, ‘What’s happening man?’ And he’s like, ‘You tell me what’s happening. Hmm? Hmm?’"

The Proud Family actor then asked Will Smith to step outside with him but Jada denied.

“And I was like, ‘Just tell me what’s up.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what’s up.’ So finally I just said, ‘This is a small place and people are here. We should talk about it, me and you outside because it looks like you need to get something off your chest.’ And Jada was like, ‘Oh nah nah, y’all.’ I was like, ‘What you mean nah y’all? Tell him!’ And that was the end of that.”
