Yahoo Lifestyle Social Media Users Defend Sophie Turner Against Mom-Shaming Comments
Fans have rushed to Sophie Turner’s defense after she was slammed on social media for going Instagram official with her rumored new boyfriend, Peregrine “Perry” Pearson, just months after filing for divorce from Joe Jonas.
In case you need a refresher, Turner, 27, and the Jonas Brothers’ musician, 34, separated after four years of marriage in September. The pair share two young daughters, Willa and Delphine.
On Monday, the “Game of Thrones” star drew criticism on social media after she posted photos from a recent ski trip with her pals and Pearson.
“Jägerbomb anyone?” Turner captioned the post.
Turner, who was spotted kissing Pearson two months ago, has not publicly addressed the romance rumors about the British aristocrat, in line to become the 5th Viscount Cowdray.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas tied the knot in May 2019. They filed for divorce last September.
Nonetheless, her comments section was jammed with mom-shaming comments about the whereabouts of her kiddos amid the divorce drama.
“Where are your kids?” one person questioned.
Another took a jab, writing, “Be a mom.”
Others didn’t take kindly to the controversial backlash, with many flocking to the comments section to stick up for Turner, who has been vocal about protecting her kids’ privacy on social media.
“Anyone asking where her kids are need to ask themselves if they’d ever ask this question to a man…and the answer is no,” one person wrote.
Someone else added, “You guys realize as a woman that we have an identity outside of having our children right? A woman is more than just a mother. Let her move on.”
“She’s not obligated to post her kids for your entertainment,” another pointed out.
In September, fans on X (formerly Twitter) defended Turner after rumors went viral that Jonas filed for divorce because the “Dark Phoenix” actor “likes to party.”
Many accused Jonas’ team of kicking off a “smear campaign” against Turner at the time.
The smear campaign against Sophie 🙄🙄🙄
Sophie Turner in 2020: “I’m an introvert, I’m a homebody […] If I could stay at home all day I would, so this is great for me. I leave my house like once a day anyway to walk my dogs and then that’s it.”
But sure, spun the narrative 🙄 https://t.co/or07YuGMRLpic.twitter.com/dPrTSC4Xkm— Zzz 🌹 (@agartumsaath_ho) September 6, 2023
genuinely cannot believe the obvious smear campaign Joe jonas has gotten his team to orchestrate against Sophie turner. What a fucking loser

we don’t talk about the smear campaign as a tactic of manipulation enough for me. joe jonas made a very public attempt at it with sophie turner, but it’s a lot more common and often done on people with less social power/resources to defend themselves

very happy to see that people (at least on the internet) are seeing right through joe jonas’ smear campaign against sophie turner because this has happened so many times in the past where the ex-wife is ridiculed beyond belief but we’re not letting it happen this time around
