The claims were eyebrow-raising from the very beginning and included accusations that someone entered Brian\u2019s hotel room while he was away and left behind some very strange items.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, the violinist allegedly returned to his room to discover wipes, beer, HIV medication, and a handwritten note that read:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\" class=\"lazy-ad-parent\">\n<div id=\"section-69fdbad2cfdc9-paragraph-slot\" class=\"incontent-ad lazy-ad-slot\" data-base-div-id=\"pb-slot-incontent-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBrian, I\u2019ll be back \u2026 just us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The note was allegedly signed \u201c<strong>Stone F<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brian claimed the situation left him feeling disturbed and convinced that he was being \u201cgroomed\u201d for a sexual encounter. He also alleged that after he reported the incident, he was fired from the tour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\" class=\"lazy-ad-parent\">\n<div id=\"section-69fdbad2cfdcc-paragraph-slot\" class=\"incontent-ad lazy-ad-slot\" data-base-div-id=\"pb-slot-incontent-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But Will\u2019s legal team pushed back hard against the claims and asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit entirely. And now, this week, the judge has sided with them!<\/p>\n<p>In the ruling obtained first by <em>TMZ<\/em> on Thursday, a judge concluded that the allegations in the complaint simply did not meet the legal threshold required for a sexual harassment case. Specifically, the court said that the lawsuit:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c\u2026fails to adequately allege conduct that is sufficiently severe or pervasive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\" class=\"lazy-ad-parent\">\n<div id=\"section-69fdbad2cfdce-paragraph-slot\" class=\"incontent-ad lazy-ad-slot\" data-base-div-id=\"pb-slot-incontent-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"highlight\">Oof!<\/p>\n<p>The judge also pointed out one other major issue with Brian\u2019s complaint: <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently, the court was not convinced there were enough facts tying Will directly to the alleged hotel room incident. In fact, the ruling noted that Brian had left his bag \u2014 which contained his room key \u2014 in a van with other crew members before getting it back hours later. That detail seriously weakened the argument that only Will or his management team could have accessed the room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: What\u2019s Going On With Will Smith &amp; This Spanish Singer?

Before Team Will starts celebrating <em>too<\/em> hard, there is one important catch: the judge <em>did<\/em> give Brian the opportunity to amend the complaint and refile it with stronger allegations if he chooses to do so.
