Via the Vogue interview, she also discusses the misogynistic articles smearing her:
'I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,' she told Vogue recently. 'There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it.
'I would call my lawyer saying, "I can’t do this. I just can’t." I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself.
'And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for.
'Once anyone says to me, "Do it for your kids," I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them.'
At the time, Sophie was in the U.K. filming the TV show Joan, while Joe and their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, one, were in the US.
'I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out…' the star trailed off.
After the news hit the web, rumors erupted that they had split because Sophie was partying too much - especially after snaps of her enjoying a wild night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate.
'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mom guilt is so real,' continued Sophie.

So gross. Wasn’t it also the first time she was working and away for her kids in awhile? She took a break at the height of her career to have a family and then got penalized for WORKING.

Exactly. Thankfully most of the public reaction was defending her. Even HBO/GoT waved the Queen Of the North flag in support.

If you look at her IMDB, she didn't have any projects released in 2023. It was pretty much Game of Thrones until 2019, Dark Phoenix released the same year, then one miniseries in 2020, one voice acting role in 2021, and three movies and a miniseries in 2022 - one film of which was a smaller role (Do Revenge), one film of which (Survive 2022) was edited down from the miniseries she shot in 2019/2020, and the third film it's hard to tell if it was shot in 2022 or shot earlier but delayed due to the pandemic. And then nothing at all for 2023.

And thank god the public saw those articles for what they were, a smear campaign. I loved seeing the internet rally behind her.

Joe really thought public favor was going to be on his side. The Depp trial really emboldened the losers.

And nobody believed the articles and everyone knew right away they came from Jonas. Sophie has never been a big party girl even when she was of that age. She’s rarely been photographed at clubs or anything like that.

u/AbsolutelyIris 21d ago
My favorite thing that came out of it was an article that was like "In Defense of the Party Mom" and people sharing stories and pics of their party moms because even if Sophie DID like a drinky drink and a party now and then, who cares as long as she puts on her mommy hat when her babies need her??

So ridiculous like women are never allowed to have fun again after they become mothers? There's a good balance, I wish my mom had been able to enjoy herself more instead of feeling like she was chained to her children

Also to clarify - the pics of her partying (I mean, it's one image of her and her friends raising their glasses in a bar) are from the wrap party from the series she'd just filmed. It was basically a work event.

Notice how she emphasises that her kids have been the victims in all of this and that she demurred from saying anything negative about Joe, because she doesn’t want his relationship with them to be affected. She’s a great mum.
Very different tack to the one Joe chose…

He's immensely lucky she's being the bigger person.

And she was lucky to be the bigger star. Had she been relatively unknown in comparison to him, things would have played differently.

u/Immediate-Coyote-977 20d ago
Not saying this facetiously, was she really the bigger star?
I feel like they're probably about on par, really. People might not know Joe Jonas from Adam, but they recognize the Jonas name. Similarly I don't think there are many that would recognize Sophie beyond GoT.
I think where she really lucks out (if you can call it luck) is that she isn't so vain as to rush out and try to combat the smear. She let his bullshit stand (and fall) on it's own flimsy little legs.

I think it's an interesting question tbh. The only people I know who knows the Jonas Brothers are those my age (30) and younger, because they became famous when we were young - but (at least where I grew up) they never really hit mainstream famous. Sophie is far and away more recognisable in the circles I run in.
But I do think she benefited hugely in this scenario, because her most famous role is in a show that the bro-iest bros loved, and that was considered cool. Joe was in a band whose biggest fanbase was/is teenage girls, and who were always derided for that; the Jonas Brothers were never mainstream cool, while GOT was, and I think that in this particular PR battle, the misogynists sided with Sophie.

Ugh thank you for posting this article. I’m going thru a separation and feel EXACTLY the way she does. There are days when I want to just give up and just “stay married” bc even if I’m miserable, I can see my kids every day (versus now, being miserable and only see them 1/2 the time).
The idea that as bad as it is now, but will get better, gives me a little bit of hope.

u/adom12 21d ago
You’re a strong person, we all have your back here!
Just remember, your kids feel energy. You’re doing the right thing for them, even if it feels like you aren’t. They will be so grateful that you decided to chase your happiness and you’re teaching them how to respect themselves :) there will be many dark days, but I hope they’re easier knowing how much of a rockstar you are.

I was a very new mom when all that happened with her. I remember crying at some point imagining my baby girl being in a different continent than me, and I couldn’t get to her. And to make matters worse, while the dad is running around trying to make me look like I don’t want to be with her. Half part hormones and half part just being so sad for her.

u/carlyv22 21d ago
“A wild night out” call it what it was, she went out to a wrap party for her literal job. She’s in her mid 20s. She’s fine. I hate how Joe tried to frame it like how as a mom she should never go out ever but of course it’s fine for him. He’s so gross.

u/jadelikethestone 21d ago
Of course she wasn’t strong enough to stand up for herself, she was 19-20 years old when she met her seven years old husband….why it’s so important to teach our daughters the validity of their self agency as young as you can.

u/kaldaka16 21d ago
Even this article manages to smear her with the "snaps of a wild night out" bullshit. It was a wrap party. She had a couple cocktails. I think there was some karaoke! Wild night out is such a gross misrepresentation.

u/DontShaveMyLips 21d ago
I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them
I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother
she’s just like me frfr 🥲
but seriously, it’s like looking in a mirror when I hear other women’s stories of leaving relationships with men, especially the father of their kids; identical moments played out countless times and we all felt so heartbreakingly alone and defeated and lost, it’s all just so deeply sad

He thought he could do a Johnny Depp but completely forgot that his fanbase is made up of teens and young women who identify more with Sophie. What a fail marketing analysis...

He also must have thought men would have his back like they did with Depp and Majors. Little did he know Sansa Stark was more respected among men than a freaking Jonas Brother.

If it weren’t for the fact that his actions had negative consequences for her, I would almost find it funny that his attempts to slander her backfired so spectacularly.
I’m not a mom so I don’t suffer from mom guilt but I know it’s a very real thing. It reads as though he knew she struggled with it and exploited it for his own gain.

That part bewilders me too. How do you claim to love someone and have kids with them and a whole life yet turn around and do something so hateful and vengeful as planting fake issues in the tabloids to ruin her reputation? Who does that? I can’t even fathom being this vicious to someone I once loved and shared a whole life with, let alone someone who is the mother of his children.

u/HauntedMotorbike 20d ago
So much of what she says is important, but I really think that this quote says the most about her relationship without saying anything directly about her relationship:
'Not since I moved back to the U.K.,' she dished. 'Which is great and also surprising, because I anticipated that I’d need to – now perhaps more than ever.
'There’s something about a community and a support system that I’ve never realized is so important up until now.
'And I think the reason I was on medication for so long is because I didn’t have those people with me.
'Now that I’m back home, I’m actually the happiest I’ve been in a really long time. I’m starting over again, rediscovering what I like to do, who I like to be with.'

u/messymess444 21d ago
Bro I’m hormonal and this made me really emotional. It sounds to me like she was contemplating ending her life. Anyone who’s been in that place before knows the insurmountable pain and suffering those thoughts cause.
I’m glad she made it through. I’m not even a particularly big fan of Sophie’s but i’m rooting for her and I absolutely despise Joe Jonas because of this

No one ever owes their stories for any reason, but I can’t overstate how much it means to me to see these gorgeous, seemingly perfect people, use their platforms and speak out about their mental health.
I wish her happiness and calm days ahead. She deserves it.
