What do the plaintiffs allege in this brothers case?
According to Variety and TMZ, the three anonymous plaintiffs accuse Richard Smith of inviting them to parties where they encountered narcotics, firearms, and sexual activity. Jane Does 1 and 3 say he pressured them to use drugs and engage in sexual activity with him.
Jane Doe 1 alleged that in June 2024 Smith isolated her in a bedroom, would not let her leave, and involved her in nonconsensual sexual activity with him and another man. Jane Doe 2 described a relationship that became “increasingly coercive, unhealthy, and controlling,” including pressure to use drugs and engage in nonconsensual sex with other men. Jane Doe 3 claimed Smith offered housing in exchange for sex and forced drug use and sexual activity.
The suit names claims against Richard including sexual battery, false imprisonment, emotional distress, and fraud, TMZ reported. Coverage centers on the brothers dispute and whether family resources played any role.
Why is Jodie Turner-Smith named in this brothers lawsuit?
Jane Doe 1 said she later learned the Los Angeles house tied to the alleged activity was owned by Turner-Smith. Jane Doe 2 claimed Richard told her the actress knew about an alleged drug operation, used cocaine with him, helped pay for narcotics, and gifted him an Audi he used to transport packages to USPS that allegedly contained drugs across state lines.
The lawsuit, as quoted by Variety, argues Turner-Smith’s role is distinct from Smith’s alleged direct conduct: that she knew of significant dangers and still provided resources that enabled housing, transportation, and a lifestyle in which the alleged conduct continued. She is sued for property-related negligence, negligence per se, child endangerment, and aiding and abetting, per TMZ.

How has Turner-Smith’s team answered the brothers claims?
A representative for Turner-Smith told TMZ and People the filing is “a fictional lawsuit filed by someone who has been harassing Jodie while hiding behind the name Jane Doe.” The rep said the claims are not true and called the action an abuse of the legal system that lets someone “make up facts and file meritless legal documents.”
TMZ also reported that while the lawsuit lists three anonymous accusers, Turner-Smith’s camp says it is one person claiming to be three Does. Those denials frame the brothers dispute as harassment rather than verified misconduct.
As of the September 25, 2026 reports, the allegations are contested in court filings and public statements. Nothing in the cited coverage establishes that a judge or jury has ruled on the truth of the claims against either sibling.
