Around four years after his divorce from actress Jurnee Smollett, Josiah Bell is reportedly targeting a portion of her fortune. It includes the Full House star's pension from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and her childhood acting coins, as per The Neighborhood Talk.
The outlet also acquired the new legal documents where Josiah reportedly wants the retirement funds accumulated by Smollett between 2010 and 2019. Notably, the duo was married for those years and Jurnee's retirement money falls under the property laws in California based on which the marital assets have to be split between both sides equally after divorce.
Meanwhile, Jurnee Smollett is yet to share a response to the latest reports, and further updates are currently awaited. She has gained recognition over the years for being a part of successful projects like Underground and True Blood, and her fortune is estimated to be $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
