'Allowed to have fun': Internet backs Sophie Turner as 'Game of Thrones' star mom-shamed online after going IG official with Perry Pearson
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sophie Turner faced a wave of mom-shaming comments on social media after going Instagram official with Peregrine “Perry” Pearson, her rumored new boyfriend, just months after her divorce from Joe Jonas.
Turner, 27, and Jonas, 34, separated in September 2023 after four years of marriage and have two daughters together.
Social media users rally behind Sophie Turner amid mom-shaming criticism
The backlash occurred when Turner posted photos from a ski trip with Pearson, drawing comments questioning the whereabouts of her children amid the divorce. Criticism intensified, accusing her of not prioritizing motherhood.
“Jägerbomb anyone?” Turner captioned the post.
“Where are your kids?” one user asked.
Another took a jab at her and said, “Be a mom.”
Fans swiftly came to Turner’s defense, challenging the double standard imposed on women, a defender stated. One fan wrote, "Parents are allowed to have fun!" while highlighting the unfair scrutiny faced by women compared to men in similar situations.
Acknowledging Turner's past challenges, one user empathetically remarked, "She spent her teen years filming GOT, then she started dating Joe, married him, and now they split up. She’s allowed to have fun."
Another emphasized the importance of self-care, noting, "Motherhood involves more than just caring for your children around the clock; it also entails taking extra moments for self-care. She truly deserves this time for herself, especially after enduring a challenging situation with an abusive partner like Jonas."
Sophie Turner drops child abduction lawsuit against Joe Jonas
Sophie Turner has taken a step toward reducing tensions in her divorce from Joe Jonas by dropping a child abduction claim against him. The 27-year-old had accused the 34-year-old singer of preventing their two minor children from traveling to the UK with her.
Turner filed a lawsuit, alleging that Jonas withheld their daughters in New York City against her wishes to have them return to the UK.
However, recent developments indicate a shift in the situation. Attorneys for the 'Game of Thrones' star informed the judge that Turner and Jonas have "submitted an agreed-upon Consent Order resolving the parenting aspects of their matter to the English Court and are awaiting the English Court’s sealing of that Consent Order."
Both parents reportedly signed off on a "memorandum of understanding," leading to the dismissal of Turner's lawsuit.
