Jodie Turner-Smith Named in Lawsuit Over Alleged Support for Brother’s Drug Operation

British actress Jodie Turner-Smith has been named in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles alongside her brother, Richard Mark Anthony Smith, over allegations involving drug sales, coercion and sexual misconduct. Three women, identified in court documents as Jane Does, allege that Smith ran illegal activities from a luxury Hollywood apartment. They claim Turner-Smith provided financial support for the residence and gave Smith a vehicle allegedly used to transport narcotics. The filing also attributes claims to Smith that his sister knew about the alleged operation and had funded drug purchases. The women acknowledge that these were Smith’s alleged statements, not admissions by Turner-Smith. The actress has not been found liable for the allegations, which remain before the court. The women are seeking damages, medical costs and a jury trial. Smith is described in the lawsuit as a convicted felon.
