Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas' ex, has clapped back at those commenting on her parenting. This follows Turner sharing pictures from a night out at an Oasis concert, which led to some criticism. However, the actress did not let it slide and responded sharply.
Sophie Turner reacts to backlash about her parenting style
Sophie Turner, who shares two daughters with ex-husband Joe Jonas, recently became the focus of online criticism after posting a carousel of photos from an Oasis concert. The pictures show Turner enjoying the night: laughing with friends, posing for the camera, kissing a cardboard cutout of Liam Gallagher, and sporting a laid-back look in denim and a bucket hat. She captioned the post, 'Bucket hats & beers…. That'll do me.'
While plenty of followers praised her night out, one commenter decided to take a swipe. They wrote, 'Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' Turner replied sharply, '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.' The response quickly spread across social media, with many chiming in to defend her. (via Entertainment Weekly)
Previously, the Emmy-nominated actress has been candid about how deeply criticism of her parenting affects her. In a 2024 interview with British Vogue, she reflected on the intense media attention during her divorce, particularly tabloid claims that portrayed her as a partier.
Turner said, 'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother — mum guilt is so real! I just kept having to say to myself, 'None of this is true. You are a good mum, and you've never been a partier.''
Turner and Jonas married in 2019 and went through a very public split in 2023, when the latter filed for divorce in Florida. Their separation was finalized in September 2024, exactly one year later, after they reached a custody agreement.

Red-Band Trailer For The Blood-Soaked Horror Romance Film STRAIGHT ON TILL MORNING and Interview with Director Craig Ouellette — GeekTyrant

Here's the trailer for a great indie surival horror thriller titled Straight on Till Morning . This is 'a romantic horror feature with lesbian leads about the beautiful and terrible things people do in the name of love.' The director of the film, Craig Ouellette, explained: 'Every character in the movie is motivated by love. But of course what some people love might not be what other people love, and there is the conflict.' I watched this movie at the FilmQuest Film Festival and it delivers a unique blend of horror and romance, following two women, Dani and Kaitlin, who meet by chance in a roadside diner and impulsively decide to road-trip together to Los Angeles. Both women are at turning points in their lives with Dani, trying to escape the ghosts of her past, and Kaitlin, chasing a hopeful future. But soon, their path takes a sinister detour, plunging them into a nightmare that will test the limits of their love and resilience. The movie evolves into a 'house of horrors' scenario when Dani and Kaitlin cross paths with a seemingly pious couple who harbor far darker intentions. Kidnapped and locked away in the family's eerie home, they are forced into a brutal fight for survival against their unhinged captors. I really liked the movie! As I said in my review, 'This film doesn't shy away from showing the harrowing lengths people will go to survive, nor does it compromise on its message: the fight for love and identity is worth every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears. Straight On to Morning is a thrill ride of romance and terror.' I also included an interview with the filmmaker below: What was the inspiration for your film? How did you come up with the idea? 'Neal McLaughlin, the co-writer, had the idea to do a romantic horror movie, ala True Romance meets Hostel. That's where it began and it's been a long journey to create and balance the tones of romance and horror into something that audiences at festivals seem to really enjoy.' Tell us about yourself. What is your background? How long have you been a filmmaker? 'I've been a storyteller since 1st grade when I wrote my first story 'The Adventures of Legoland'. It's brilliant! As for movies, it was in High School in Dallas, TX that I realized the magic of editing and the moment when two shots get put together that create an entirely new world. From that point on I was hooked!' What inspires you to work within genre cinema and tell these kind of stories? 'I love suspense. And I love that horror (and sci-fi, fantasy etc) allow us to dive into stories head on. We don't have to sugarcoat things and we can use our imaginations to tell outlandish stories that are grounded in real world issues and challenges. If you do a straight forward drama you often have to dance around what you are really trying to say, And in Horror you can put it front in center in all it's ugliness and beauty.' What was your favorite part of the filmmaking process for this project? 'Oh man! So many parts I love. Writing, Editing, Working with the actors and crew to create a world that otherwise does not exist.' What are you most proud of with this film? 'The audience reactions at packed festival screenings have been AMAZING. To hear an audience gasp, cheer, scream, cringe and be on the ride that we set out to make really means so much. I'm proud we were able to create something that is really connecting to people on an emotional and visceral level.' What is a favorite story or moment from the making of the film you'd like to share? 'So many people gave of their time and effort to create this. I'm forever grateful to all of them.' What was your most challenging moment or experience you had while making your film? 'The whole things was hard as hell. Making independent movies is one of the most difficult things to do it seems. I knew it would be harder than my many short films, but it was SO MUCH HARDER. Gathering money, resources, making things look good with little.' If it did, how did your film change or differ from its original concept during pre-production, production, and/or post-production? How has this changed how you'll approach future projects as a result? 'From the original concept to now, the biggest change is that it became a Queer film. A few years into the 15 1/2 year journey to make it, Neal and I realized how much stronger the film would be if it were a Queer story. It just opened up so many layers of subtext and became something more interesting on a lot of levels. It also makes a much stronger statement too. And then there are the hundreds of ways things change because of time, blocking, actor intentions, limitations, creativity and more. But that's all part of the creative journey of filmmaking that I love.' Who were some of your collaborators and actors on the film? How did you start working with each other? 'Bonnie Jean Tyer, who plays Kaitlin Sanbourne, one of the two leads and is a producer, wardrobe and more on the film is an amazing woman with so much passion and so many skills I'm constantly impressed. We met at a team building day job, and over the years began to work together on her western series, and then this. The is a powerful queer filmmaker and amazing actress who is going to go far. 'Kelsey Christian, who plays Dani Dupree, the other lead, is a fabulous actress and singer from Nashville. We met via audition and she was so purely the character AND she's a great singer (which is important for the film). I'm grateful she stuck through all the ups and downs of the project and has always been a supporter of the film. 'She brought her heart and soul to the project. In truth, all the actors, Bill Hengstenberg, Michael Gmur, Maria Olsen and Travis Lincoln Cox, as well as all the supporting actors were incredible. I love working with actors and am awesome in awe of the amazing ways they can create emotion and connection. 'Behind the lens we had an amazing set of producers and crew members who really gave so much for this film. As I mentioned before I'm grateful to all of them.' What is the best advice you've ever received as a filmmaker and what would you like to say to new filmmakers? 'Take business classes. It's something I wish I did, but I didn't so now I have to figure out all this business stuff along the way. Each movie you make (if it's for profit) is a small business (or a big one) and having that basic understanding is helpful. Make movies (and live life) with passion, without being precious. Being precious is a limiting agreement. Nothing will EVER be perfect. It is impossible. But we can strive for greatness and connection. Exercise regularly and eat well because making movies is so hard.' What are your plans for your career and what do you hope this film does for it? What kind of stories would you like to tell moving forward? 'I'm ready to be making movies, both smaller indie films and large studio pictures. I love the idea of jumping back and forth between scales of projects because each of them has their plusses and minuses and provide ways to creatively tell stories.' What is your next project and when can we expect to see it? 'I have two feature scripts ready to go that we are in the fundraising stage for. So one of those two, or if someone had a script and a plan I'd be interested in exploring other opportunities as well.' Where can we find more of your work and where can interested parties contact you? Do you have a website or YouTube/Vimeo channel? Social media handles? 'My website is Craigofilm is also my youtube channel, instagram and facebook too. The movie's website is and @straightontillmorningmovie on the IG.' Bonus Question #1: What is your all-time favorite film? 'I love love so many movies. But if I have to choose one it is ALIENS'

From Snoop Dogg to Tom Brady, stars flock to English second-tier clubs

High-profile figures like Snoop Dogg, Luka Modrić, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Brady, and Ed Sheeran are investing in English Championship clubs. The stars are drawn by the league's underdog appeal, potential profits, and personal passion projects. This involves buying low, injecting funds for development, and selling high upon achieving success, as explained by football business experts. When Snoop Dogg sang the praises of Swansea City, it signalled the unlikely arrival of the latest celebrity owner in the once unfashionable Championship, English football's second tier. The American rapper has joined the Welsh club's ownership structure, investing an undisclosed sum to rub shoulders with former Real Madrid stalwart and World Cup finalist Luka Modrić, who has also sunk his money into the club. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working-class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me,' Snoop said in an introductory video. In North Wales, Wrexham is dreaming of an extraordinary promotion to the Premier League this season. The club is backed by the enthusiastic and lucrative support of Hollywood star Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney. AFP Meanwhile, former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham City, very much the second club in England's second city after Premier League outfit Aston Villa. His arrival in 2023 was not met with universal approval, with one fan asking, 'Tom Brady, who's he?' in the Amazon Prime Video series Built in Birmingham: Brady and the Blues, which follows his early, whirlwind involvement in the club that includes the sacking of manager Wayne Rooney. Brady says his is a 'visionary role,' and he tries - not always successfully - to pass on his experience of winning seven Super Bowl rings to the Birmingham players and their young manager, Chris Davies. But why do so many celebrities want to invest a slice of their fortunes into the Championship? Christopher Winn, course leader at the University Campus of Football Business (UCFB), told AFP the principal reason was that they see it as an attractive investment, with the carrot of the Premier League's riches if the team can gain promotion proving irresistible. 'There is the notion of long-term returns, in other words, buying low (in a lower league) and selling high,' Winn told AFP. AFP 'While on-field success and subsequent off-field returns are no guarantee, should the promised land of the Premier League be reached, a significant profit would likely be generated on any future sale of the club, in other words, generating returns for investors well beyond their initial investment and operational outlay. 'Granted, that does not mean the investors are all out to make a return - football can often be a game of utility maximisation after all, and for some a personally funded passion project.' 'We could make money' Brady's friend and co-owner at Birmingham, the New York-based investor Tom Wagner, reveals in the documentary that they originally tried to buy a Premier League team, but the deal fell through. Then the chance to snap up Birmingham presented itself. 'We thought we could make some money, have a good return, which is our ultimate objective, so we just couldn't pass it up,' Wagner says. Birmingham manager Davies has quickly felt the effect of having a sporting icon breathing down his neck - he good-naturedly recounted to The Times that his attempts to relax on a family holiday in the Maldives were disrupted by Brady insisting on scheduling daily conference calls at the children's dinner time. In Wagner and Brady's first season, Birmingham crashed down into League One, or England's third division, but with Davies in charge, they emphatically secured promotion to the Championship this year, romping away with the League One title with a record points total. That was largely due to the Americans' injection of funds for new players such as forward Jay Stansfield, acquired from Premier League club Fulham for £15 million ($20.3 million), a huge fee for League One. Celebrities are active behind the scenes at other Championship clubs. Birmingham kicked off the season last week with a 1-1 home draw against Ipswich Town, who count multi-million-selling music star Ed Sheeran among their financial backers. Ipswich confirmed last year that Sheeran had bought a 1.4% stake in his local club, and he has been the shirt sponsor for the last four years – although in a cautionary tale for other star owners, his involvement did not stop Ipswich being relegated from the Premier League last season.
