Troll confronted with sharp retort from Sophie Turner over maternal criticism
Sophie Turner Responds to Parenting Criticism, Emphasizes Normalcy of Shared Custody
Sophie Turner, the acclaimed star of Game of Thrones, recently hit back at a parenting critic on Instagram. The actress, who shares two daughters, Willa (5) and Delphine (3), with her ex-husband Joe Jonas, clarified that her children's custody is shared, and they might have been with their father on the day of the social media post that sparked the criticism.
Turner's response came after an Instagram user questioned her parenting, implying that she had forgotten she had children. The actress, however, used the opportunity to highlight the normalcy of shared custody arrangements and push back against unfair assumptions about her role as a mother.
Turner's response went viral, receiving praise from fans for her firm stance. Many fans defended Turner, criticizing the original commenter and expressing support for the actress. One fan remarked, "Mothers don't stop being people just because they have kids," while another account commented, "It's absurd to think a mom can't go out and have fun."
Joe Jonas, Turner's ex-husband, has also praised Turner in interviews about raising their daughters. He recently echoed the sentiment, calling their co-parenting relationship "beautiful." Jonas expressed gratitude that his daughters have "incredible women" like his mother and Turner to look up to.
The custody battle between Turner and Jonas, which lasted from 2023 until their divorce was finalized in September 2024, was a difficult time for both parties. Turner was quoted as saying that their children became victims in the lengthy battle. However, it appears that they have since reached a joint custody agreement and are currently on good terms.
Turner has spoken openly about the emotional toll of parenting criticism and the "mum guilt" she experiences, especially when separated from her children due to work commitments. Despite the challenges, Turner continues to balance her career and motherhood with grace and determination.
