Relations between warring exes Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith took a further downwards turn this week as she appeared to compare him to a Disney villain.
Dawson's Creek star Jackson, 46, and British actress and model Turner-Smith split in October 2023 - after first sparking up a romance in 2018 and welcoming daughter Juno, now five.
After it emerged their custody battle had taken another twist, the Queen & Slim actress took to Instagram on Monday to share a cryptic post showing an array of Disney villains, who at first appeared nice.
The post read: 'Why don't you like that person? They seem so nice. You know who else seemed to be nice?' with Turner-Smith adding the caption 'stay safe out there '
DailyMail.com has reached to reps for both Jackson and Turner-Smith but did not immediately hear back.
The post comes after the legal fight between the former couple over their daughter took an ugly turn.

Jackson has now filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
In the motion, filed May 30, Jackson claims Turner-Smith changed their five-year-old daughter's school for kindergarten without his permission and selected an establishment that was outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon.
According to court documents obtained by People, Jackson claims Turner-Smith said it's 'no big deal to force Juno to start over with a new school.'
Jackson alleged in the documents obtained by E! that Jodie-Turner told him via a text message that their daughter does not 'require a fixed location' for her education and that tutors and remote learning could be implemented.
He also is worried that 'Jodie is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school.'
Jackson also brought up his own past being educated as a child actor by on-set tutors, according to E!: 'Even in the best case it cannot begin to provide a child with the same nurturing and enrichment, peer relationships and social skills that a classroom and school community environment provides.'
The actor is now asking the court to order his daughter to remain at the school she has been attending for the next academic year.
He is also seeking joint consent with Turner-Smith for any future school changes.

Joshua said his daughter has been 'flourishing' at her current school, according to E!.
He noted the multiple changes Juno has faced in recent years, which comprised of the recent loss of Jackson's home in Topanga Canyon, which was burnt down in the Los Angeles fires.
Joshua said 'adding an unnecessary school change cannot be in her interests.'
Joshua and the British actress/model got together in 2018 and secretly married the following year before welcoming baby Juno in 2020.
Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023, and in the filing said their date of separation was the month prior.
They settled their divorce last month, but at that time where Juno would attend school had not been agreed upon.
In previous court documents obtained by People, Turner-Smith stated that she'd been granted the authority to 'make the final decision' about Juno's education in 2024.
The documents state that she was required to consult Jackson on the decision.
In recently filed legal documents, according to TMZ in May 2025, it was revealed that Jackson will pay $2,787 each month in child support but he will not be paying monthly spousal support.
Turner-Smith also requested Jackson pay her $75,000 for the attorney's fees she incurred in their legal fight over where they child will go to school.
The Doctor Odyssey star and his ex went to a mediator to compromise on a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter.

Turner-Smith reportedly requested a judge to enforce a court order to give her the power to move their daughter to a new school.
In legal documents filed by her attorney Laura Wasser, she said she researched the elementary school, discussed with Jackson and even made sure it was close enough to his home.
However, she claimed that he still does not want to move their daughter to the new school.
The pair have been in a legal battle since Turner-Smith filed for divorce two years ago.
She listed their date of separation as September 2023 and cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her reason for filing.
A few months later, she broke her silence about their divorce and said she decided to file to end their marriage.
She said she wanted to 'make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us.
'And they don't just affect us, they affect everybody around us,' she told The Sunday Times in February 2024.

'Sometimes things we really want to work just don't end up working. And that's OK. The most important thing is that you choose what's healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children.'
Following their split, Jackson went on to date Lupita Nyung'o, and he was most recently linked to German model Nastassja Roberts.
Last October, Turner-Smith declared that she is 'over men' after their divorce filing, insisting she is happily single and is not focused on dating for a while.

Music Review: On Addison Rae's 'Addison,' a new pop powerhouse is born
The pop album of the summer is here. Addison Rae's debut, 'Addison,' is full, stuffed with bejeweled, hypnotic pop songs for the post-'BRAT' crowd. Hedonism has a new hero. For those who've watched her rise, it's almost impossible to believe. It wasn't so long ago – almost exactly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic – that a young Rae went on 'The Tonight Show' and taught its host Jimmy Fallon a few stiff, meme-able TikTok dance moves, then what made up the bulk of her career. It was met with almost immediate backlash, as is common for young women with viral posts. But she wielded it like a weapon: Social media celebrity begat acting roles for Rae, then a coveted collaboration with Charli XCX in the form of a 'Von Dutch' remix, and now, at age 24, her final form: becoming the hyper-ambitious, hyper-femme pop star for the current moment. As a full body of work, 'Addison' taps into the genre-agnostic zeitgeist, where pop music appears edgy and elastic. The songs speak for themselves, from the pitch-shifted trip-hop 'Headphones On' and the snapped percussion, minor chords, NSFW lyrics and vanishing synths of 'High Fashion' to the Madonna'Ray of Light'-cosplay 'Aquamarine' atop a house beat and its chantable, spoken chorus: 'The world is my oyster / Baby, come touch the pearl / The world is my oyster / And I'm the only girl.' Humor and girlhood are intertwined with less of a Sabrina Carpenter-wink and more of cheery irony. ' Money loves me,' she yells on 'Money Is Everything.' 'I'm the richest girl in the world!' Then, a giggle and a kiss. ('Girl,' to this writer's count, is uttered 20 times across the album. Across its 12 tracks, she is both the divine feminine and the girl next door. Often, they are one in the same.) Rae isn't reinventing the wheel here, but she is carefully pulling from her inspirations. Her story recalls Britney Spears: The pair are from Louisiana, became famous young, and recorded their unique, sensual, layered pop music in Stockholm, Sweden, in and around super producer Max Martin. There's the earned Lana Del Rey parity, like in the 'Born to Die'-channeling 'Diet Pepsi,' echoes of Charli in the bouncy opener ' New York,' and tinges of ethereal Enya production on the dreamy 'Summer Forever.' For 'Addison,' Rae partnered with two primary collaborators – Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who goes simply by Elvira – an unusually small team for a major label pop release. But that intimacy is one of the album's superpowers, a sensibility that teeters between close mic recordings and big late-night anthems. In the latter case, look no further than 'Fame Is a Gun,' an easy song-of-the-summer contender, a sunglasses-in-the-club banger with synthetic vocal textures and an unignorable chorus. In the lead up to the release of 'Addison,' Rae has positioned her early TikTok fame as a means to an end. There aren't many avenues to Hollywood from Lafayette, Louisiana, and social media, for some, is a democratizing tool. Rae used her dance training to build a name for herself on the platform, something that has no doubt laid an ideal foundation for pop superstardom – just consider how Justin Bieber did something similar with covers on YouTube not so many years ago. It feels full circle, then, that Rae's stellar debut album aims to do what her videos on TikTok attempted to do, what she's always wanted to do — dance, and get others to dance, too.

Republican senator employs aide fired by DeSantis over neo-Nazi imagery
A staffer for Missouri Republican senator Eric Schmitt was previously fired from Ron DeSantis's unsuccessful presidential campaign after making a video containing neo-Nazi imagery, and later peddled far-right conspiracy theories in a Marco Rubio-linked thinktank. Nate Hochman's job in the hard-right senator's office, along with earlier Trump appointments to executive agencies, suggest to some experts there are few barriers to far-right activists making a career in Republican party politics. The Guardian contacted Eric Schmitt's office for comment. Heidi Beirich, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told the Guardian: 'Hochman's position shows once again that there are no guardrails against extremists in the GOP nowadays.' She added: 'Racism, antisemitism and other abhorrent beliefs don't seem to stop extremists from appointments with far-right politicians, including in the highest office of the presidency.' Hochman, 26, has worked for Schmitt since February, according to congressional information website LegiStorm, a development that was first noted on political newsletter Liberal Currents. He has also posted dozens of times to X to publicize Schmitt's initiatives, media appearances, and speeches. The Guardian reported last September on Hochman's previous job at America 2100, an organization founded in 2023 as a thinktank. The organization was founded by Mike Needham, who served as Marco Rubio's chief of staff from 2018 to 2023 when Rubio was a senator and who is once again his chief of staff at the state department. In that and subsequent reporting, it was revealed that Hochman's work for America 2100 was focused on producing videos, some of which targeted Haitian migrants in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and others that rehearsed conspiracy theories about LGBTQ people and human rights organizations. This was the latest in a string of scandals in the young operative's political career. In July 2023 he was fired from the presidential campaign of Florida governor Ron DeSantis after retweeting a pro-DeSantis, anti-Trump video. As the Guardian reported, the video portrayed a ''Wojak' meme, a sad-looking man popular on the right, against headlines about Trump policy failures before showing the meme cheering up to headlines about DeSantis and images of the governor at work', all to the tune of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill. Finally, it superimposed DeSantis on to ranks of marching soldiers and a Sonnenrad – a Norse symbol frequently appropriated by neo-Nazis. As Hochman departed the campaign, Axios reported he had made the video but endeavored to make it 'appear as if it was produced externally'. Just a year earlier, Hochman seemed a rising conservative star, with a clutch of prestigious fellowships, a staff position at National Review, and a growing media profile as a key spokesman of the national conservative movement. That trajectory shifted after never-Trump conservative outlet the Dispatch revealed details of a Twitter spaces recording of a 2022 conversation between Hochman and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. In that exchange, Hochman complimented Fuentes, saying, 'You've gotten a lot of kids based' and calling him 'probably a better influence than Ben Shapiro on young men'. Following his DeSantis exit, beyond America 2100, Hochman's writing at a paleoconservative and other far-right outlets embraced the extreme positions characteristic of the so-called new right. In the American Spectator during 2024, he heaped praise on Salvadorian dictator Nayib Bukele; endorsed far-right publisher Jonathan 'L0m3z' Keeperman arguing that masculinity is under feminist attack; and echoed the 'Sailer strategy' first coined by neo-eugenicist writer Steve Sailer, proposing that Republicans should ignore minority voters and 'go where the ducks are' by maximizing white turnout. Another column entitled 'Was it Worth the Empanadas?' portrayed immigration in the terms of the 'Great Replacement' style conspiracy theory, asserting that it would 'dismantle and replace both America and the civilization that gave birth to it, affecting (sic) perhaps the first transfer of power from one people and civilization to another'. Liberal Currents first noted rhetorical parallels between Hochman and his new boss since he joined Schmitt's staff. For example, while Hochman wrote in May last year that America 'is not an 'idea', or a 'universal nation', or an economic zone, or a low-tax parking space for global capital – it is our home', on 30 April Schmitt delivered a Senate floor speech decrying 'the international elite – the so-called 'citizens of the world' – who see our country as a global economic zone, a giant shopping mall with an airport attached', and deployed similar rhetoric in an X post earlier that month. And after Hochman tweeted about federal border czar Tom Homan as 'the perfect embodiment of the middle American radical' – a term popularized by white nationalist writer Sam Francis – Schmitt began posting about how the government 'has been at war with middle America'. On the other hand, Schmitt – as a US senator, and previously as Missouri attorney-general – occupied hard-right positions long before Hochman joined his team. In a 2022 interview with Glenn Beck, Schmitt echoed the 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory, claiming that Democrats and the Biden administration were 'fundamentally trying to change this country through their illegal immigration policy'. He later dismissed reporting on the comments as 'woke journalism'. Hochman is just one activist with far-right links who has found employment in the second Trump administration. Darren Beattie, for example, served as a speechwriter in the first Trump administration but was fired in 2018 after CNN revealed he had spoken at a 2016 HL Mencken Club meeting also attended by white nationalists including Richard Spencer and Peter Brimelow. Despite this dismissal, Trump appointed him in late 2020 to the US Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, though Biden dismissed him from the commission in early 2022. After leaving the White House, Beattie launched the rightwing media outlet Revolver News, raising funds by selling pro-Trump merchandise including shirts that read 'It's OK to deny 2020' and promoting conspiracy theories that January 6th was an 'FBI setup'. Then in February, Beattie was appointed to the state department's top public diplomacy role as acting under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs. Beirich, the extremism expert, said 'It's a sad, shameful fact that the GOP now mainstreams extremist ideas – and harbors those that proliferate them.'
