Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas divorce narrative

Just watching this unfold over the last few days starting with they were filing for divorce which happens to a lot of people, but noticed the narrative is moving towards how Joe has been looking after their children all summer, he tried to save the marriage and it's down to her partying and painting things quite negatively for Sophie Turner.

Obviously I have no idea what's going on with either side but does look like she's being portrayed as the villain here and him the good guy , I know this is probably a lot to do press spin on things. She's been working away in UK and it would be quite normal for him to 'parent' their children while she's away ( (and hardly qualifies for father of the year, just their father.)

They are both extremely private people, having not even announced the name of heir child, so I imagine a lot of what is being said is speculation and gossip.

I was thinking the same thing op. Apparently she likes to party. Yet she’s been working away. I reckon he likes to control her she’s not doing as she’s told. Which is also total speculation. You’d think they’d try a bit harder, they’ve got you g children, relationships are hard.

I love how everyone has immediately seen through the traditional narrative of slandering the mother to get ahead of the story. She was MUCH younger than he was when they got married and this whole thing just stinks of pushing for primary physical custody so she can't relocate to the UK with them. Fair enough if he wants his children in the same country as him, but smearing the post partum mother of your children this maliciously is just grim.

I do hope people can see through it because it's such a shit narrative about a young woman whose spoken openly about suffering from depression. Maybe it's not coming from him but shit press speculation but it's really grim.

I’m sure I saw an interview from during covid where she said she was a homebody and loving staying in and how he was a party guy and she was struggling to keep him in. It sounds like he’s got someone spinning it to me she’s being very dignified staying above it all.

CaffeineAndCrochet · 06/09/2023 12:18

How dare she goes to her own wrap party🙄

Rolypops · 06/09/2023 12:22

I try not to get myself riled up about celebrities I don't know as I am far too old for that now, but I really feel for Sophie Turner a lot. I had kids in my early twenties too and also suffered from fragile mental health. I was also vilified by people in my life when I still wanted to go out occasionally and drink with friends etc. Luckily my DH was always really supportive and never expected a gold star for looking after his own kids, but the way I was treated really stuck with me and even now they are a lot older I still feel a tinge of guilt whenever I go out for drinks of an evening, even after my youngest is in bed (and DD is 8!)

MessyMyrtle · 06/09/2023 12:28

The best thing we could do is not click on any links. Media will push all sorts of stories about Sophie Turner just to get clicks and Advertising revenue.

Media and the journalists who write this rubbish don’t care about the pain they cause the people they gossip about. That’s all it is - gossip. If we didn’t feed the media beast they’d leave these people alone to sort it out.

PrincessOfTigger · 06/09/2023 12:28

It’s so gross, but glad that the traditional misogyny doesn’t seem to be working this time

Agree

Think he wanted to control her. Remember he married her when she was really young.

And is really not happy she started work again.

Sounds like his PR is in overdrive.

JamSandle · 06/09/2023 12:31

Sophie is much younger than Joe and by all accounts seems sensible and sensitive.

I agree with the above poster who advised not to click on links. I won't feed this story.

Rainbowqueeen · 06/09/2023 12:35

Team Sophie.

She doesn’t deserve this.

Yes I've seen that interview, it seems strange then doesn't it that allegedly it's no longer the case. It sounds like his PR are working overtime to try and set the narrative, highly suspect her going back to work has had a big impact and she's no longer meeting the family image all of the Jonas brothers are keen to portray in the way they want.

Wnikat · 06/09/2023 12:45

getting strong controlling narc vibes

Ohnanawhatsyourname · 06/09/2023 12:52

OKAY hold on… I don’t give a single care about the Jonas boys or whatever they’re called, they seem fine. But I cannot STAND messy and PR-driven divorces. So let me
state my case!!

His PR says she’s a party girl Eff right off. She is working in the UK (working!!). Have you seen any articles about her falling out of taxis in Soho (as she has a right to!)? No!! She has constantly talked being a homebody and very introverted and shy. In lockdown she said she liked it because she loves staying home and was actually able to see her husband. He on the other hand DJs and is fairly regularly papped on nights out and they’ve both talked before about him being this big social butterfly. Since they married she has had a few smaller jobs whereas he has been touring multiple times and is now. So who was with the kids all your marriage Joe? She was pregnant, post-partum or in lockdown for over half of that marriage - see below for timings

He makes out he is doing most of the parenting now. Now!! Ok let’s look at timeframes… married in 2019. She gives birth in 2020 in lockdown. Within a year she’s pregnant again and gives birth in the summer of 2022. And she was not with the kids when in this tight timeframe? Also his PR lot are SO gross and say he might push for more than 50% custody…. boy you can’t even handle childcare of your own kids now without releasing public statements about it. Calm the eff down and take a seat.

Think he’s sprung this divorce on her totally by surprise I do remember her saying she wishes she could raise their kids in the UK and how much she misses her friends and family. I remember thinking that’s sad and why don’t they move over - his brother and SIL lived in London for a while even, I remember her SIL being on the One Show talking about how much they loved it. His PR is emphasising that the kids are US based and that he has “an ironclad pre-nup”. Gross… so you’re lining up to screw her over in the divorce and keep the kids in the US and filed for divorce while she’s in the UK. FYI her last photo on IG (in the last month) is of them going to see Taylor Swift concert, he has today deleted all photos of her. He says they've been separated for months…. Really? So then you separated just after she gave birth and yet still go out publicly holding hands etc… uh huh 🤔

Kids as publicity Maybe he doesn’t want the kids in the papers, but he is a Jonas where the family pushed kids in the entertainment world. Sophie has talked repeatedly about never wanting them public. I wonder if she’s driven that approach. If we suddenly see the kids’ faces unblurred in pap pics then we’ll know if they have differing values on that.

anyway I didn’t know much about him but now I think he’s gross and so dishonourable. He comes across as scum.

DO NOT COME FOR GOOD WOMEN!!!! Ugh makes my blood boil, he’s such an idiot.

(yes I like gossip)

Rolypops · 06/09/2023 12:56

Deleting all pictures of her is so laughably ridiculous. This is a 34 year old man.

Ohnanawhatsyourname · 06/09/2023 12:56

Also does it sound like… how did she hear of this all happening? It would be irreparably bad if he didn’t tell her about filing, or he called her… because it doesn’t seem like they met in person. Yup on strong controlling vibes. Did you hear he wanted a friendship with Gigi Hadid when he was 19 and she was 13 and kept in touch with her to ask her out when she was older 🧐 GROSS!!!

(whereas the other jonas guys seem so nice!!)

I agree about not clicking on all the articles, I’ll try better on that.

I didn’t even realise there was such a gap when they married &
that’s disgusting re Gigi Hadid

ST does always seem to have a close relationship with her own family so hopefully she’s got goof people around her.

Rolypops · 06/09/2023 13:18

Yes re clicking on links, I'll try to do better there too! I think just this story in particular has gotten under my skin. There have been stories about what a scumbag Joe Jonas is for years and I too just hope she has a solid family unit around her.

Shots!? SHOTS YOU SAY?? Won't somebody think of the children...

Poor young woman being raked through the gutter by an older man she married who drinks and gets pissed on stage at concerts.

“Older man”? He’s hardly Hugh Hefner seducing one of the Playboy Bunnies!

He’s 34, she’s 27!! It’s nuts to make out she was somehow coerced into this. I also seem to remember that when his brother married a woman 11 years his senior, posters on here were up in arms that anyone would even question it, saying it would NEVER happen if the genders were reversed…

babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo · 06/09/2023 13:20

That guy is majorly creepy.

Rounee · 06/09/2023 13:26

I feel.so sorry for her.

Just seems so planned and sneaky that he filed for when the kids were stateside.

And now all these stories coming out by his PR team.

Rolypops · 06/09/2023 13:26

I never said she was coerced, but it stands to reason if you have a 6-7 year age difference there will come a time when this will inevitably show re lifestyle wants and maturity levels etc (particularly a 23 year old in a relationship with a 30 year old). The fact remains she is quite a lot younger than him as well as post partum and I find the smear campaign properly disgusting.

IHateWasps · 06/09/2023 13:27

From all the emphasis on her being "Much" younger on here I thought there was going to be a huge age gap of the best part of 2 decades. There's not even 7 years between them,
