Jodie Turner-Smith shared a cryptic post to her Instagram Story Monday, days after her ex-husband filed a custody order modification. Dawson’s Creek alum Joshua Jackson filed the order against Turner-Smith on Friday, claiming that she had moved their five-year-old daughter, Juno, to a different school without alerting him. The Queen & Slim star took to Instagram three days later, sharing a meme of four animated Disney villains with the words: “‘Why don’t you like that person? They seem so nice.’ You know who else seemed to be nice?” She captioned her Instagram Story “🤦🏾♀️ stay safe out there ⚠️." According to documents obtained by E! News, Jackson’s filing requested that Juno continue to attend her current school for the upcoming school year, and that any changes require the “parents’ joint consent.” Jackson also stated that he was concerned his ex-wife was “attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school.” The pair were married for four years before Turner-Smith filed for divorce in 2023. Their divorce was finalized in May of this year, with the two agreeing on joint custody of their daughter.
