Jodie Turner-Smith has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by three women who accuse her brother, Richard Mark Anthony Smith, of sexual misconduct, drug dealing and other alleged wrongdoing. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Turner-Smith provided or made available housing, transportation, financial assistance or other resources to Smith despite allegedly knowing about his conduct.
The plaintiffs, who cite fears of retaliation and harassment, base their claims on alleged specific acts, omissions, knowledge, assistance, resources, and property-related conduct. Turner-Smith's representatives deny the allegations, calling the lawsuit an "abuse of the legal system."
