Jodie Turner-Smith named in lawsuit over brother’s alleged misconduct
Three women filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday accusing Richard Smith of sexual misconduct and drug dealing while naming his sister Jodie Turner-Smith as an enabler.
Lawsuit claims against the siblings
The plaintiffs filed their complaint with the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. They accused Richard Smith of engaging them in unwanted sexual activity and drug dealing. The suit alleges that Turner-Smith enabled these actions by paying bills and providing housing.
Allegations regarding resources provided
The lawsuit claims Turner-Smith gifted an Audi used to transport drugs. Prosecutors say she knew of the dangers associated with Smith yet continued to provide resources. This support allegedly allowed Smith to maintain a lifestyle where the alleged conduct continued.
Representative denies the claims
A representative for Turner-Smith told People that the lawsuit is fictional and meritless. They stated the accuser has been harassing Jodie while hiding behind a Jane Doe name. The statement asserts the claims are not true and represent an abuse of the legal system.
