BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Down Low Extortion

money 14[Hollywood Street King] Today’s blind item subject has a major Hollywood secret to tell and DL details to divulge.

Now that she’s fully charged – like an Energizer Bunny powered up by a double-A battery –  she’s warning her Oscar-nominated Hollywood ex of the power she holds, which could force his history out of its comatose state and squash this Omega man’s Tinsel-Tale… with a touchdown. Now, only time will tell how the overnight Oscar Boycotter will respond to her extortion play!

[Actor] doesn’t not have enough money to take my voice away from me to deprive me of my story, that wouldn’t happen.

Today, he’s holdin’ down a net worth of approximately $250M. That’s a far cry from his freshly-checked by the IRS azz in the early 90s — around the time of their three-year marriage which she says didn’t work because she “just didn’t have the tools.” Don’t believe me… Just ask Brotherly Lovin’ Benny!

I didn’t have the tools. I didn’t have the tools to make it work.

Now, can you guess the vice-versa, open-marriage reppin’ actor I’m talking about?

    I, for one, look forward to the day when Hollywood and the rest of the world for that matter, just assumes folks are pansexual, period. All this hiding and bearding and pretending is such a colossal waste of EVERYONE’S time, not to mention futile; it doesn’t work! The truth will always reveal itself in one form or another. The speculation creates WAY more interest than the truth ever will but perhaps that’s the point, at least folks are talking about you??

  3. Coolmo says

    The rumor mill says that Will & Jada are bisexual. When Sheree made her statement maybe it had nothing to do with money and more to do with that they have a son together and she wanted to support his dad or maybe because it just didn’t happen.
    I don’t believe that anyone should be “outted.” So I’m more curious as to what Alexis Arquette’s motive was in the first place. I wonder if she had an encounter with Will before or after her transgender journey.

  4. Moonpie says

    Sooooooo, he’s been dragged out by the wife, the ex in a roundabout way, complains of lack of diversity but hires no blacks in his production company. Dreadful.

  5. pinkmarie says

    DL Actor: Will Smith
    Ex: Sherri Fletcher

    I’m sure he paid her a good sum to “rise for the occasion”.

  6. SpotTheFish says

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino Fletcher

    comatose state (Concussion), Omega man (I Am Legend, remake of The Omega Man), recently announced he was boycotting the Oscars

    Whatever it was, she must have gotten it, since she just posted a long rant on Facebook defending him.

  7. ericaophelia says

    I think this is Mimi Rogers and Tom Cruise.

    They were married for three years. She hasn’t had a lot of publicity but is getting some recognition for her new role on Ash vs. The Evil Dead.

    When she and Tom divorced, she gave an interview to Playboy saying that regarding her marriage, her “instrument needed tuning.”

    Hints: IRS (Cruise and Scientology have come under fire with the IRS since Going Clear). Energizer Bunny (Mimi posed for Playboy).

  8. truebritt says

    Sheree Fletcher

    Quote: “Our marriage ended because we were so young,” she said. “I just didn’t have the tools, we didn’t have the tools to make it work.” –

  15. rockstar says

    Will Smith. His ex is getting brave! Alexis Arquette just outed (supposedly) Will and Jada.

  17. vinny2015 says

    Never mind my first guess. I think it’s Will Smith and his ex. He and his wife need to join their kids and all come out of the damn closet! Fake jackasses

  19. lovesboating says

    Will Smith and ex-wife Sheree Fletcher.

    Clues: Oscar Boycotter, three-year marriage (to his ex), touchdown (his ex was/is married to ex-NFL star Terrell), Brother Lovin’ Benny (I think Naldo Benny), open-marriage (Will and Jada are said to have one)…Lots of clues in this one!

  20. totskie says

    Will Smirh’s ex wife. If she is extorting him, good. That ass and his wife are just way too into their own insane brand. They need to be taken down.

  23. NYCBunny says

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino

    We have only 500 characters, how can we list all the clues? Her quote has received wide circulation, Benny is the man Alexis Arquette claims Sheree caught him with, he was the Fresh Prince, lots of football terms for latest film, and so on.

  30. trescomas says

    Actor: Will Smith

    His Ex Wife: Sheree Zampino

    Clues: Freshly-checked refers to Fresh Prince. He was in trouble with the IRS in the early 90s. Benny was the guy she supposedly caught him having sex with, which lead to their divorce. Will is also boycotting the Oscars. He was the Omega Man in I Am Legend

  31. missmissy says

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino
    azz – Jazzie Jeff
    Omega man – title of the first film based on “I am Legend” book

  34. MikeInSanJose says

    Fresh Prince of Bel Aire Will Smith was married to Sheree Zampiro for three years back in the early 90s (92-95).

    She was recently divorced from football player Terrell Fletcher.

    Will and Jada have publicly discussed their open marriage.

    • MikeInSanJose says

      Rumors of Will Smith & Benny Medina (and P. Diddly) have circulated for ages.

      Rapper Will Smith was $2.8 million in debt to IRS, which pushed him to do Fresh Prince to pay that tab.

      Will’s film “I Am Legend” has been compared to the “Omega Man” book and Charlton Heston’s version of the film from the 70s.

    Clue: freshly- checked (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Benny as in Benny Medina

  39. tiger13 says

    will smith’s ex just came out defending him against alexis arquette’s claims. does this blind imply she was paid to do it or that she is now threatening to flip flop & expose him?

  40. luvprue1 says

    Actor: Will Smith
    His ex wife: Will’s first wife Sheree.

    Rumor has it that she walk in on Will and another guy, and that was the reason why they got a divorce so
    quickly.

    Clue: Oscar boycotter

    Optional: I think she want him to help her career, by being in her video, or singing with her.

  41. pumpkinloaf says

    will smith?? married to sharee zampino for 3 years, boycotting oscars

    touchdown = concussion film

    • pumpkinloaf says

      oh and Benny Medina is who Will Smith is accused of cheating on Sheree with… Sheree has been defending Will since the Oscar boycott but maybe was paid to do that…

  42. mamacita3 says

    Will Smith, his ex Sheree, Clues, Oscar boycotter, Brother Lovin’ Benny and it’s great that she is still such a good little soldier. Will and Jada must have paid her a little bonus to deny what Alexis Arquette said.

  45. andtheeen says

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino
    She must have already been paid off as there are direct quotes from her rebuttal to Alexis Arquette in this item. Sheree would have ZERO credibility if she now tried to say “I meant to say Will was NOT straight in 1992 and he’s NOT straight in 2016”.

  46. doppiavu says

  48. JennyJustice says

    Will Smith’s first wife, Sheree Fletcher. Alexis Arquette already let the cat out of the closeted bag. He claims Smith’s first marriage ended because Sheree walked on in Will “servicing” Benny Medina. Wow!!!

    Benny – as in Benny Medina, the producer of Fresh Prince
    Open Marriage – the gossip has it he and Jada enjoy such a marriage

  54. mommagoosed says

    – Omega Man = basis for I Am Legend

    Clues: Oscar Boycott, brotherly love, open marriage

  68. Caiti32 says

    Will Smith and his first wife Sheree Zampino (married 3 years).

    I am confused by the wording on some of this — so she says he doesn’t have enough money to shut her up about what she knows, but the title is about how she is extorting him?

    She is just looking for a payout from him?

  69. jenwski93 says

    Gotta be Will Smith and Sheree Fletcher? The reference to City of Brotherly Love (Philly from Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Touchdown (she was married to a football player).

  70. blacklamb says

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino

    Maybe she wants a job or recognition? Had absolutely no idea the woman existed.

    • blacklamb says

      Clues: Touchdown = football concussion non-nominated movie that is inaccurate. They were married three years. It’s blatantly obvious….

      Elba should have been nominated but overall the awards season has been pretty weak for highly marketed movies.

    Sheree Zampino

    “Touchdown” – she was married to Terrell Fletcher, a former running back
    “freshly-checked” – reference to Fresh Prince of Bel Air

  76. katheryn says

    Oscar boycotter-Will boycotting Oscars
    Azz- his friend Jazz
    Brotherly lovin Bennie
    Married 3 years to Will
    Sheree’s ex was a football player

    Didn’t she just come out in defense of Will?? Doesn’t make sense.

    Optional: money, of course

  78. Jinkies says

    Actor: Will Smith

    Ex Wife: Sheree Zampino Fletcher

    Clues: What wasn’t a clue? He was pinpointed in every other word of this “blind” item.

    She wants money, of course, since she divorced him before he had the money he has now and she didn’t receive the millions that people assume. He will pay, of course, to continue the charade.

    • Okayeah says

      Well if money is her sole motivation, she’s a day late. Will isn’t exactly on top of his game anymore. Why would she not have blackmailed him, say five years ago? Why now?

    • Jinkies says

      A Net Worth of $250 million can pay for the silence of several people, so an ex wife who knows certain secrets won’t break the bank at all. He may not be as popular as he used to be, but he still has a lot of money.

  82. mamatech says

    I guess Sheree Zampino wants some Will Smith money. Obvious clue comes with touchdown and comatose state related to Concussion. Smith’s from Philly with J-azzy Jeff, use to “rep” and he and Jada are both boycotting the Oscar. Sci-fi fan can easily relate I am Legend to Omega Man. Perhaps this Oscar boycott temper tantrum will be the Smith’s undoing, outing both of them inadvertently.

  84. MissStyles123 says

    Actor: Will Smith

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino (married for 3 years in early/mid 90’s)
    Fully charged by double A battery = Alexis Arquette
    Touchdown = Concussion (movie that he’s nominated for)

  90. SocioSanchez says

    Will Smith
    Jada Pickett
    Will ‘ s exwife
    Waaaaay say too many clues. This isn’t much of a blind. It’s an open secret.

  91. gingercat says

    This is definitely Will Smith, but when I googled, it said that he ex has come out after the Alexis Arquette article saying that both Will and Jada are gay and said that He was straight when she knew him and he’s straight now. And that she never caught him with anyone. ??????

    Clues: Omega Man (I am Legend)
    Bortherly Love (He’s from Philly)
    azz (Like Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince)
    Open Marriage
    Touchdown (he just starred in Concussion)

  94. Carolina Girl says

    Actor: Will Smith

    Ex Wife: Sheree Fletcher

    15 minutes of fame …already on the news denying that he was gay. But saying she didn’t have the “tools” to make it work, is that her code for saying that she needed a penis to keep him happy?

    I read that his production company does not hire black actors or directors. If this is true, wouldn’t this make his another Hollywood Hypocrite?

  95. ChairmanMeow says

    This is about that old rumor that Will Smith had sex with Benny Medina!!!

    His first wife, mother of his oldest son, allegedly saw them. She must have hard core proof.

    She probably wants security for the son. Pay up, Will. Jada isn’t doing you any favors.

    Clues- IRS investigated Will in the 90s. He was so broke that’s why he did Fresh Prince.

  97. whatnow says

    will Smith new movie Concussion

    Will Smith
    Sheree Zampino

    Clues: Omega man aka I am Legend, the overnight Oscar Boycotter, touchdown for Concussion. A lot clues. Probably missing some.

  103. johnnyjewel says

    WILL SMITH

    Alexis Arquette outted him last week but no mainstream media outlets picked it up because they didn’t want to kill their good terms with the Smiths.

    Smith’s ex-wife walked in on him with benny medina having sex. Will was the top and benny was the bottom.

    • CoCoJoe says

      Thank you! I figured it was Will Smith, but couldn’t figure out what they were talking about!!!!

    • spookie says

      I feel pretty iffy about it tbh. Outing people, even if it’s an “open secret” is not cool.

    • lagally says

      will smith was connected to Scientology
      are all the male scientologists gay? ! Seriously,
      Tom cruise, John Travolta, the logan echols kid on Veronica Mars? Gheesh —
      do they all go into Scientology in order to “cure” themselves of gayness?! it ain’t working!

    • dahlia202049 says

      No no…they don’t go in to cure it, they use scientology to exploit it. Scientologists are encouraged to push their limits of sexuality, meaning they are told their higher xenu conscious, or whatever the crap they buy, is spurred on by being openly bisexual. They are almost like Satanists in that way…if it feels good, do it, and it doesn’t matter who you hurt or exploit along the way.

    • Amityvillain says

      Scientology is very against being gay. Hubbard himself wrote that homosexuality is a “perversion” in Dianetics and is a covert hostility in his tone scale. It’s in his books and writings.

    • research boy says

      Jason Dohring (Logan Echols) isn’t in $cientology because he’s gay, he was born into it. Both parents are members (Dad, Neopets founder Doug Dohring, is supposedly a high muckety-muck in the church).

      I mean, he could be gay (he’s an actor, after all), but he didn’t join because of that. And he has been married to his wife since before VM went on the air, so if she is a beard, he prepared well.
