Alright, so if your name’s Jod Turner, you’ve gotta be feeling a little smug right now, watching some sweet karma hit your ex. Y’all remember Pacey from Dawson’s Creek, right? Well, he’s apparently sitting on a mountain of cash—making around $200,000 a month just from royalties. And that’s not even counting the movies he’s been in. So, why’s this important? Because Jod’s been dealing with him calling her a “deadbeat” when it comes to taking care of their kid. He’s not paying for child support, clothes, school—nothing. Just out there living his best life with his new girlfriends.
Here’s where it gets good: Jod recently revealed that Pacey basically conned her out of a million bucks. They were buying a house, and needed some land for it. Pacey pulls the whole “I forgot my wallet” act and asks, “Anyone got an extra million so I can buy this land?” And like a sucker, Jod hands over the money because he promised to pay her back. Remember, this dude makes way more than her, but can’t even cough up the cash for land.
And then, when they break up because he’s been cheating, Pacey kicks her out of the house. No help, no support for Jod or their kid, and he stays in the house while she’s out on the streets. And, of course, he never paid her back the million for the land.
Fast forward to 2025. Karma’s got her way, and guess what? That house he loved so much? It burned down in the LA fires. The only thing left? The land Jod paid for, the land he still owes her for. Now, he’s back in court begging Jod for mercy, saying he’s broke until the end of the week. And Jod? She’s not having it. She hit him with a solid “Shut up and grease my feet!” (For anyone who knows the C. China reference).
Now, Pacey’s finally feeling the consequences of his actions, and Jod’s standing strong. She’s like, “I don’t want to hear your sob story. You’ve shown me who you really are, and I’m done.”
Okay, let’s dive into this because, honestly, this is one of the funniest and most ironic stories I’ve heard in a while. Karma moves fast, but I didn’t know it could hit this quickly. So, when we last left off, our heroine already had a feeling her relationship was on its way out. She and Joshua had some deep conversations about the struggles Black women face, and meanwhile, he was like, “How do I date someone who looks like you?” Like, she’s literally teaching him about being a Black woman, and he’s using that information to talk to Leita and others. You can’t make this stuff up, right?
At this point, things were already falling apart. She was asking him, “Why aren’t you spending time with our daughter? What’s going on?” But she let it slide, thinking it was just him being “in love.” She even went as far as saying she was over men altogether—like, “I’m not dating, and I’m in no rush for love.” She said she didn’t care what Joshua was doing, as long as he treated their daughter, Juno, and her with respect. She made it clear that she would always be Juno’s mom, and that was her priority.
You can tell, though, she knew co-parenting wasn’t going to be easy. Joshua had set things up in a way that would make it even more complicated. Still, she was trying to stay grounded and said, “This is going to be the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do.” Joshua, on the other hand, thought he’d left Jodie heartbroken because, remember, she once even begged him to marry her. I know, it’s a lot. But girls, let this be a lesson—don’t ever do that, especially not if the guy owes you money and is already showing he’s not trustworthy.
Back in the day, Joshua had no shame. He’d flaunt his relationship with Leita, posting pictures and basically saying, “Look at me, I’m over Jodie,” like he was trying to rub it in. But Leita wasn’t naive. She had just split from her own cheating ex, so she wasn’t exactly thrilled to jump into something public with Joshua. But he was all in. He wanted to go public, thinking that would make Jodie feel smaller, or maybe he thought it would make Leita feel more secure, like, “If Jodie loaned me a million for land, maybe Leita will buy me an island.” I’m not sure, but there was definitely a gold digger mentality at play.
But here’s where the real irony kicks in. Karma, as it always does, came around. Joshua’s home—the one he kicked Jodie and their daughter out of—burned down in the Pacific Palisades fire. Not only was that house the place where he entertained other women, but now it’s gone, and all that’s left is the land Jodie bought. Oh, and let’s not forget: Joshua still owes her money for it. Karma, anyone?
A judge had already ordered them to have a civil conversation about custody and visitation rights for their daughter, but it sounds like Joshua doesn’t want anything to do with that. He’s not interested in having custody, and according to what Leita’s saying, he’s not paying a dime either.
And the final twist: Joshua’s home, the one he thought would be his fresh start, is completely destroyed. TMZ confirmed that the house in Topanga Canyon is now just rubble, but guess what’s still standing? The land—land that Jodie owns and that Joshua still owes her for.
Life has a funny way of making you pay for your actions. Joshua thought he was being clever, but now the house is gone, and all that remains is the land he tried to outsmart her for. Looks like karma really does catch up with you in the end. And trust me, there’s more to come in this Greek tragedy for Joshua.
So here’s the deal—his swimming pool somehow made it through the fire, but everything else? Not so much. Honestly, if I were Jody, I’d say, “Fine, you can have the pool, but you’ve got until Wednesday at noon to come take it out. If not, I’m filling it with concrete, and you’ll never swim in it again.” Or, I’d just turn the whole yard into a garden and post pictures of me, enjoying the space with my new man and my new pool.
They’re claiming it’s a reminder of his childhood memories tied to the house he bought in 2001. But hold up—he didn’t buy it in 2001, he bought it in 2021. Anyway, in a report last year from The Blast, Jodie talked about her finances during a court call, saying that his income is way higher than hers. He made over $2.3 million in 2022, bringing home about $195,000 a month, while she was pulling in around $87,000 a month, though she did earn over $245,000 in November. She also mentioned she only had $5,000 in cash and $366 in stocks and bonds because she’s been covering their daughter’s expenses and all their other costs.
But at the end of the day, he doesn’t even own that land anymore. He had the house that burned down, and now he either needs to give her the land or pay her for it. And if he got fire insurance and is getting a payout, she has every right to demand her share of the house’s value—especially if he owes her that million. I’m pretty sure he bought that house in 2020 or 2021. Honestly, that’s just karma. Anyway, that’s my take on it. What do you think? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Talk to you later.
