‘Game of Thrones’ Actress Claps Back at Fan Who Claims She ‘Forgot’ She Had Children originally appeared on Parade.
Actress Sophie Turner, beloved for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, silenced online trolls with a fiery clapback that has fans nodding their heads in approval. The drama unfolded after Turner uploaded a carousel of pictures on Instagram showcasing a fun night out with friends at an Oasis concert. The post spurred “concerned” comments about her parenting.
The actress, who shares daughters Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, with ex-husband Joe Jonas, found her parenting under attack from keyboard critics. “Lmfao, I think she has forgotten that she has two kids,” one troll wrote, while another chimed in with, “Who is taking care of this woman’s children?”
But if they expected silence, they were mistaken. Turner, known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, wasted no time in her response. “Ah I’m so sorry sometimes I forget some people can’t think for themselves,” she began, before schooling the critics on modern co-parenting. “So…Get this…There’s this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.”

The comments section exploded with support, with fans jumping to Turner’s defense and questioning the double standard she was facing. “How funny I find it in the comment section all these women so concerned about her children?!? How about you worry about your own children and mind your damn business geez……” one fan wrote, adding, “you know that a mom can also have a life too.” Another wrote, “Yesss queen get these trolls 🧌 and your freedays.”

Another supporter asked, “Is it that incomprehensible to you that her children might have other trusted care givers asides from her? The dad perhaps? Is it that strange to you that a dad look after his own children every now and again?” Other fans offered another take, writing “would you say this to Joe?” and “please, get a life.” The final word of praise came in the form of a new nickname: “Queen of The North and The Comebacks 👏👏👏.”
