I apologize in advance as I'm afraid this is going to be long. I'm going to argue in favour of Joshua Jackson, because you seem less familiar with his side of the story, and I don't blame you. People magazine isn't the most trustworthy source of information, and as usual, they've twisted the story just a little bit to make it look messier than it already is. I'm going to divide my comments in several because apparently TH-cam doesn't like it when it's long :)

Jodie Turner Smith did not request spousal or child support when she filed for divorce, she's only doing it now because she has spent a lot on a very expensive lawyer, and she accuses her ex-husband of slowing things down, so she's running out of money (well, not really of course, but she has spent a lot and she is definitely not as rich as he is). That last part I can't argue because it might very well be true, although I don't think he'd be doing it because he wants to ruin her, but because he thinks she's being unreasonable in the negotiations. If you look at what she is now legally requesting, it seems insane because she's making more than enough money to support herself, as evidenced in the report she filled which also shows her monthly expenses ($40,000 a month on rent only is wild! I don't live in the US, but I'm saying this according to comments I read from Americans). Whether or not she gets what she's asking for is up to the judges.

Regarding JJ's role in his daughter's life, I'm not really surprised he's trying to get sole custody. Contrary to what the article leads you to believe, he's always been present in his daughter's life (JTS claiming she was the primary caretaker is about before the divorce, basically when she was still a baby and needed breastfeeding). Right now the custody is 50/50 and he is doing his part, even more so than you can imagine. Jodie has been filming in London for months last year and the kid was in his care in the meantime. He took his current job in LA in order to be able to be at home and to see his daughter and take her to school every day. And he's been talking wonderfully about her and being a father from the day she was born. The headlines imply he's a deadbeat dad, which isn't true and it feels wrong.

You are absolutely right when you say they were incompatible, for the very reason you give, JTS certainly has a lot of qualities, but one of them is not being a discreet person, she has a tendency to overshare and I'm not saying it is wrong in itself, but JJ is the polar opposite (which is probably why many people don't know him so well). He does give incredible interviews and speaks a little about his private life sometimes, but rarely to broader media, you might actually have to actively search for his interviews. But I do encourage you to do so, especially in regards to your idea that he is a simplistic man, because nothing could be further from the truth. He is very smart, articulate, has a cheeky sense of humour, and at the same time he comes across as a genuine and compationate person. You could check his interview about "When they see us" ( th-cam.com/video/a4u-ozSTl-k/w-d-xo.html ), or the one he did with Sasha Alexander last September ( th-cam.com/video/-CP8sYaNX-A/w-d-xo.html ) where he talks about his daughter, being a father and raising his kid in his childhood home (which, sadly, he apparently just lost in the LA fire).

And the reason why I defend JJ over JTS when I normally instinctively defend the woman, other than the fact that, needless to say, I am a fan of his, is because JTS seems rather inconsistent and seems to make everything about herself, whereas JJ is usually pretty quiet but has always been consistent about his daughter being his number 1 priority. While JTS is out there dropping passive aggressive comments about her ex any chance she gets, he hasn't said a single word about her. I don't know her that much and I can't say much about her talent as an actress, but based on recent interviews, as a person she comes across as egocentric and greedy. Sorry again for the long comment! I hope I could provide some useful insight
Hi there, I appreciate your insight. This was a very well thought out and typed response. Unfortunately I don’t know much about Joshua, at least not as much as I know about Jodie. This was a very kind and teachable moment. You did a great job of sticking to the facts while counter arguing with valid proof. More could learn from you! 🤍 Your side makes me look at the situation a little differently but I would hope that they’re able to hash it out for the sake of their daughter. She’s the most important thing that matters. I do wish Jodie were a tad bit more private and I did read that her rent was $40K a month, which I thought was a little insane or overboard. Even if I had that kind of $, I would not spend that on rent or a mortgage. I’d rather pour that into something like my kid’s education or saving for a rainy day. Thank you for shedding light on this situation. I appreciate you interacting with my channel and hope you have a nice day! 🤍
To add to the facts of this story, although Jodie filed for divorce, it was Josh who asked for the divorce. He admitted to that in his discussion with Sasha Alexander's Coffee and Convo series. Josh is very much the gentleman and those who know him feel that although he asked for the divorce, it was out of kindness that he did not do the actual filing. You are right that she does come on quite strong, right from the beginning she appeared to be an attention getter whereas Josh has always been very private and to that point a lot of her IG videos of them were very out of character for him. She also admitted that when they got together, it was a one night stand that went on for three years. Early on in the relationship Jodie was all about making it known that she hooking up with Josh by dropping hints any chance she got, but there were also signs back then that Josh may not have wanted their relationship to continue. Then she got pregnant and they got married. It was just a matter of time before they split. As far as the recent developments, we are likely only going to hear her side of things because Josh does not speak out often about his private life, so I truly believe there is more to this than meets the eye and there is no possible way that Josh is a deadbeat dad. Jodie has worked almost as much as Josh since they got together if you look at her IMDb page.
@@kayshawnsimmons5585 For some reason, I did not like her character or the way she was played. But I’m glad you enjoyed her performance! Yes they did. But they’re kind of at a crossroads now. I don’t think it’s been finalized and she still hasn’t received spousal/child support from him…even though it was requested a year ago SMH.
@ I see there’s another comment showcasing a different story. So now I’m wondering what the truth actually is. 🤔 I just hope they can work it out and that their daughter is always put first. We will see how this plays out. It seems this story is to be continued. 👀
@@AmberUnfilteredShowIt’s easy to fact check,you know. Her divorce filings were public for all to see,over a year ago,where she didn’t ask for child or spousal support,because they have a 50/50 shared custody. For those of us that follow him,it’s clear that he absolutely is a present father to their child,and there’s no doubt he’s doing more than his fair share.

l liked her in Queen and Slim. Did her and her husband get divorced yet? 🤔
