ACTRESS Alexis Arquette has made bombshell claims about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. She thinks they’re hypocrites.

TRANSGENDER actress Alexis Arquette has sensationally claimed that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are gay and the Concussion actor paid off his first wife after she walked in on him with another man.

“When Jada comes out as gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him … then I will listen to them,” Arquette wrote in a since deleted Facebook post on Tuesday, The New York Post reports.

She later clarified in the comments section, “‘She’ being his FIRST Wife. Paid off, silent.”

Will’s first marriage to Sheree Zampino ended in 1995. They had one child together, Trey Smith.

Will married Jada in 1997 and they have two children together, Jaden and Willow.

“Will threw a fit on the set of [Six Degrees of Separation] when he was required by the scene to kiss Anthony Rapp,” Arquette continued.

“He persuaded the director to shoot the back of his head in frame. Blocking the non existent lip lock entirely. … him. Gays have enemies. They lurk in gilded closets. Outing is healthy. You are either with or against us. You decide. Today.”

The Smiths have for years been dogged by rumours about their nearly 20-year marriage.

In 2013, Will was accused of cheating with Focus co-star Margot Robbie, who denied the claims.

Last year, Jada addressed reports that she and her husband were in an open marriage, telling Howard Stern’s SiriusXM that she was not Will’s “watcher”.

“Here’s the deal with that, Howard, you’ve got to trust who you’re with. And at the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher,” she said.

“I’m not his watcher. He’s a grown man. Here’s what I trust. I trust that the man that Will is, is the man of integrity. So, he’s got all the freedom in the world. As long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be okay, I’m good.”

Arquette is the sister of actors David, Rosanna and Patricia Arquette, and in 2014 claimed she slept with Jared Leto.

Arquette’s comments come after Jada, 44, announced she was boycotting the Oscars over the lack of diversity among the nominees. Will, 47, was not nominated for his role in Concussion.

But Arquette isn’t the only person angry with Will and Jada, former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress Janet Hubert also took aim at the couple in a lengthy video this week.

“There’s lots of s**t going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognise,” Hubert said. “People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you’re talking about some … actors and Oscars. It’s just ain’t that deep.”

A request for comment from Will and Jada’s reps were not immediately returned.
