Sophie Turner publicly criticizes an individual who claims she's neglected her two children.
Sophie Turner Hits Back at Mom-Shaming Comments on Instagram
Sophie Turner, the "Game of Thrones" actor, has responded to criticism over her parenting skills on an Instagram post. The comment, which suggested that Turner had forgotten she has two children, was captured by the account Comments By Celebs.
Turner, who shares her two daughters, Willa and Delphine, with her ex-husband, musician Joe Jonas, responded firmly to the criticism. She reminded the commenter that she has shared custody of her daughters, stating, "So.... Get this.... There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day."
The comment, which sparked a wave of support for Turner, came after she shared a slideshow on Instagram of her night out with a friend on August 4. Another commenter defended Turner, saying, "Leave moms alone. They don't just stop being a person because they have kids." Another commenter pointed out the hypocrisy, stating, "And yet their dad is out there on a whole ass tour and nobody is saying anything to him!"
Turner and Jonas began dating in 2016 and got married in 2019. However, they divorced in 2023 after an acrimonious custody battle. Despite this, they have since maintained a positive co-parenting relationship.
In her response to the comment, Turner expressed her apologies and suggested the possibility of shared custody, stating, "Ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves." Another commenter argued, "Imagine thinking a mom can't go out and have fun." Another commenter defended Turner, stating, "No one ever asks a Dad where their kids are."
Turner's Instagram post has since been flooded with comments of support from her fans and followers. The incident serves as a reminder that mothers, like everyone else, deserve the freedom to enjoy their personal lives without constant scrutiny and judgment.
