Three Women Sue Richard Smith and Jodie Turner-Smith

Three anonymous women have filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Richard Smith and actor Jodie Turner-Smith, accusing Smith of sexual misconduct and alleging that Turner-Smith provided resources that enabled his conduct. The claims are allegations in a complaint and have not been established in court. Turner-Smith’s representative denied them. The plaintiffs, identified as Jane Does, accuse Smith of pressuring them into unwanted sexual activity and drug use. The complaint also alleges he offered one woman housing in exchange for sex and that another was confined and pressured into drug use and sexual activity in June 2024. The women are seeking damages, according to the reports; the materials provided do not establish the case’s outcome. Turner-Smith is accused of enabling her brother by providing housing, paying bills and supplying other resources. The complaint alleges that she gave him an Audi that he used to transport drugs. One plaintiff’s account includes statements she says Smith made about his sister’s knowledge and assistance, including that she helped pay for narcotics.
