Jodie Turner-Smith Shares Cryptic Message Amid Joshua Jackson Custody Drama
Jodie Turner-Smith appeared to shade her ex-husband, Joshua Jackson, amid a disagreement between the two over their daughter's schooling.
Turner-Smith and Jackson share one child together, a 5-year-old named Juno.
Jackson recently filed an emergency custody order modification ― according to documents obtained by People magazine ― over a development in Juno's education.
The 'Dawson's Creek' actor alleges that Turner-Smith abruptly changed Juno's school without his permission.
'Jodie is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school,' Jackson said in the documents.
After news broke of the conflict between the two, Turner-Smith shared a post on Instagram that seemed to call out her ex-husband.
The post includes animated photos of cartoon villains and reads ''Why don't you like that person? They seem so nice.' You know who else seemed to be nice.'
Turner-Smith added her own commentary in her Instagram stories, writing '🤦🏾♀️ stay safe out there ⚠️.'
Reps for Turner-Smith and Jackson did not immediately return HuffPost's requests for comment.
The former couple married in December 2019, one year after meeting at Usher's 40th birthday party. Juno was born in April 2020.
Turner-Smith would go on to file for divorce in October 2023, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
The 'Queen & Slim' actor previously shared that she doesn't view the two's marriage ending as a 'failure.'
'Sometimes things we really want to work just don't end up working. And that's OK,' she told the U.K.'s Sunday Times in an interview published in 2024. 'The most important thing is that you choose what's healthiest for you and your family and definitely your children.'
Turner-Smith later shared that the former couple were going through an 'adjustment period' as they learned how to co-parent.
'Nobody hands you a manual,' the actor said in a candid chat with Glamour U.K. last year. 'Everyone's trying to figure it out. Each parent has a different life, and especially if the reason why you're splitting up is because you have different lives, it's only further complicated by how you're going to coparent.'

Donald Trump's Controversial Pardons Make Some Republicans Squirm
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump's pardons of white-collar criminals whosupport his presidency and donate to his campaigns stoked plenty of outrage from Democrats and former law enforcement officials last week. Now, even some Republicans are signaling their discomfort with his decisions to grant clemency ― and the way he's going about it. 'I think that when the president pardons someone, they need to carefully explain why injustice was done,' Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told HuffPost. 'And I think pardons should be rare, and President Trump likes pardons much more than I do.'In recent weeks, Trump has pardoned a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted of trying to sell deputy badges, a Las Vegas politician who stole money intended for a memorial dedicated to a fallen police officer, a tax cheat whose mother raised millions of dollars for Republican political campaigns, and a pair of reality television stars who were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion. The pardons appear to have been politically motivated, a reward for MAGA die-hards who stood with Trump and his movement. 'No MAGA left behind,' Ed Martin, the president's controversial new pardon attorney, wrote in a social media post last month. Trump also shocked many Republicans when he pardoned hundreds of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioters who were convicted of assaulting or interfering with police officers, roughly 1,000 nonviolent offenders and around 200 people accused of assaulting police. A number of those pardoned have since been rearrested for other alleged crimes. 'On its face, you got to be pretty careful,' Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), another Senate Judiciary Committee member, said of Trump's latest pardons. 'I haven't looked at the current ones, but I think I'm pretty well staked out on about two or three hundred of Jan. 6 people who never should have been pardoned.' Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said the 'best approach' for issuing pardons is to follow a process and make decisions on clemency requests after a recommendation from a parole board or the Department of Justice. The president's pardon power under the U.S. Constitution is broad and completely unchecked. Presidents aren't bound to go through a certain process ― though some follow DOJ guidelines more than others ― and they're free to pardon whomever, no matter the crime. Some of President Joe Biden's pardons also drew outrage ― including for his son Hunter Biden. 'The only way you're going to fix it or change it would be, I think, through a constitutional amendment, and that would take a long time to do,' Rounds said. 'I think just the American people being aware of it is an important part of this discussion. I don't know that you're going to fix it as much as bring attention to it.' Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, dismissed a question about Trump's pardons by pointing to controversial pardons issued by President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. 'There's no sense of making any comments about the president's pardons because it's totally his own decision ― any president in the United States,' Grassley said. 'And nobody asked me about the 2,500 pardons that [Bill] Clinton gave, and so I'm not going to make any comments on pardons that Trump makes.' Trump, meanwhile, seems far more interested in probing his predecessor's pardons. On Wednesday, the president directed his administration to investigate Biden's actions as president, accusing his aides of concealing his 'cognitive decline' and casting doubts on the legitimacy of his use of the autopen to sign pardons and other documents. The order followed weeks of inquiries by Republican lawmakers into Biden's mental and physical health as president following the release of a new book chronicling the former president's 'decline, its cover-up and his disastrous choice to run again.' Biden, however, denied the accusations from Trump in a statement Wednesday: 'Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false.'

Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones announces bid to succeed Sylvester Turner in Congress
State Rep. Jolanda Jones, D-Houston, on Monday jumped into the race for the congressional seat left open by the death of U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner, the former Houston mayor. 'The simple fact is no one will fight harder to stop Republicans from taking away our social security, our public schools, our health care, our constitutional rights and more,' Jones said in a statement announcing her campaign. Jones, an attorney and former Houston City Council member from 2008 to 2012, joins a slate of candidates running in the special election, including Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and fellow former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards. 'I am the only candidate in this race who has fought for our families in the Legislature, in the courtroom, on city council and on the school board,' said Jones, who was elected to the Texas House in 2022. 'I helped shut down Houston's corrupt crime lab, helped extend Medicaid coverage for new mothers and their babies and cut taxes for seniors and homeowners.' Turner, who also served in the Texas House before his turn in Congress, died March 5, two months into his first term representing Texas' 18th Congressional District. The district, which contains historically significant neighborhoods for Houston's Black community, had been long represented by former U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who also died in office last year amid a battle with pancreatic cancer. The special election to fill the seat will take place Nov. 4. Gov. Greg Abbott called the election for November a month after Turner's death, leaving a solidly blue seat open for most of 2025 as Republicans work to push through President Donald Trump's agenda in a closely divided House. In Congress, Jones said she would 'fight to stop Trump cuts to healthcare and Medicaid, Social Security, education and veterans,' and work to expand healthcare coverage and affordability. She also emphasized bringing back the right to an abortion. 'I've been fighting my entire career for women's rights, bodies, and voices, and will never stop working to restore abortion rights to make sure women — not politicians — make their own healthcare decisions,' said Jones, a criminal and family lawyer with her own practice. The district is a Democratic stronghold, meaning the Democratic nominee is almost certain to win the election and could hold onto the seat for years. Menefee was the first to launch his campaign, and has secured high-profile endorsements, including former U.S. Reps. Colin Allred and Beto O'Rourke, who both challenged U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. Jackson Lee's daughter, Erica Lee Carter, is serving as his campaign chair after briefly representing the district after her mother's death. Jones said she 'deferred' her decision to run until the legislative session concluded this week so that she could focus on representing her constituents in the Texas House, where she served on the criminal jurisprudence, public health and redistricting committees. She was also the vice chair of the subcommittee on juvenile justice. 'I promised my constituents I would fight for them every day through the end of the legislative session — and I did exactly that,' she said. During the session, Jones worked closely with both Republicans and Democrats, including on legislation to ensure that certain criminal defendants are not held behind bars pretrial for periods longer than the maximum sentence for the alleged offense. Jones, a four-time national track and field champion, one-time contestant on CBS' Survivor and LGBTQ advocate who often speaks about her upbringing in poverty and familial tragedy, previously served on the Houston ISD Board of Trustees. One of her Republican colleagues, whom she worked with on the criminal jurisprudence committee, quickly gave a word of praise upon her announcement. 'This woman,' Rep. Mitch Little, R-Lewisville, posted on social media, 'is truly a forced to be reckoned with.' Big news: 20 more speakers join the TribFest lineup! New additions include Margaret Spellings, former U.S. secretary of education and CEO of the Bipartisan Policy Center; Michael Curry, former presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church; Beto O'Rourke, former U.S. Representative, D-El Paso; Joe Lonsdale, entrepreneur, founder and managing partner at 8VC; and Katie Phang, journalist and trial lawyer.

Some wonderful people are turning their attention back to 'Harry Potter,'' the actor, 79, told ScreenRant. 'That's why it's been such a hard decision. I'll be about 87 years old at the wrap party, but I've said yes.'
