Sophie Turner shuts down ‘mom shaming' claim that she abandoned her kids to party
The Game of Thrones actress shared photos from Wembley Stadium on Instagram, captioned, 'Bucket hats & beers … That'll do me. Thank you @levis.' While most fans praised the post, one person wrote, 'Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.'
Turner replied directly saying, 'ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So … Get this … There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day,' referencing her ex-husband Joe Jonas.
Turner and Jonas, married from 2019 to 2024, share two daughters, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2.
Their divorce, finalised after a public split in 2023, initially drew media attention over allegations about Turner's lifestyle. She has since denied being a 'partier,' telling British Vogue in 2024 that she is 'a good mum' and that the reports were 'the worst few days of [her] life.'
Turner continues to work in television and film while co-parenting amicably with Jonas, making clear that criticism of her personal life will not go unanswered.

Oasis criticised in Korea over 'Rising Sun' flag imagery in ‘Morning Glory' video ahead of tour
British rock band Oasis is facing criticism from Korean fans after posting a new 'Morning Glory' visualiser on its official social media that featured imagery resembling the Rising Sun flag. The video includes a recurring yellow sun with radiating rays, appearing across buildings, landscapes and graphic backgrounds. Many viewers linked the design to the Rising Sun flag, a symbol associated with Japanese imperialism. Korean and international fans left critical comments such as 'Seriously? Rising Sun flag??' and 'You should study history before your Asia tour.' Others highlighted the timing of the release, with one remarking, 'Using such images before coming to Korea is reckless,' referring to the band's scheduled 30th-anniversary concert in Korea this October. The Rising Sun flag was historically used during World War II as a military emblem by Japan, representing imperialist expansion and colonial rule. In countries including Korea and China, it is regarded as a reminder of war crimes and wartime aggression. As of now, Oasis has not issued a statement or removed the video. Calls from Korean fans for an apology and deletion continue to grow, with the situation attracting significant online attention. This is not the first time the band has been criticised by Korean audiences in recent months. In July, member Liam Gallagher drew backlash after posting 'ChingChong' on social media, a term widely considered a racial slur. Gallagher later clarified, 'It was not posted intentionally; I'm sorry if I upset anyone. I love you all and do not discriminate. I spread peace and love.'

Sophie Turner slams critic who claimed she ‘forgot' her kids
Sophie Turner, best known for playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, swiftly shut down an Instagram troll who accused her of neglecting her children. After enjoying a night out at an Oasis gig, she posted some upbeat photos, but one commenter snapped back, 'Lmfao, I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' Her response was sharp yet telling, 'Ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So… Get this… There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' It was both a dismissal of undue criticism and a reminder of the balanced co-parenting arrangement she and Joe Jonas have established. Turner and Jonas, who married in 2019, finalised their divorce in September 2024. Despite the split being labelled 'irretrievably broken,' they've continued as co-parents to their daughters, Willa (four) and Delphine (two). Joe Jonas recently praised their dynamic, saying he wants his daughters to grow up with powerful female role models and that both parents provide just that. Turner has previously expressed regret about how their separation played out and how it affected their children. In an interview, she shared she feels her kids were among the 'victims' of the process, adding that she's thankful Jonas is 'a great father,' and she believes 'we're doing the best we can.' Her quick and pointed comeback won praise across social media, with many defending her right to a personal night out and supporting the transparency she's shown regarding custody. Turner's response wasn't just about defending herself; it was also a graceful demonstration of maturity and a reminder that parenting doesn't cease when fame intervenes.
