Sophie Turner SPEAKS OUT On Her ‘Single Mother’ Comments

Sophie Turner is setting the record straight. The actress took to Instagram on Sept. 30 to clarify previous comments she made that referenced being a single mother writing in part, “I have been widely misquoted today in publications where I have ‘stated' that 'it's such a struggle being a single mother.’ I'd like to clarify that I was talking about the character of Joan that I play and was not referring to myself, which is obvious from the original interview in the Sunday Times Culture section." The 28-year-old had been interviewed by UK’s The Sunday Times speaking about her upcoming miniseries, “Joan,” where she plays notorious and real-life diamond thief Joan Hannington, known as “the godmother.” In that piece, the “Game of Thrones” alum had spoken about a central plot of the series, which is the fight to retrieve Joan's daughter from social services. “If I hadn’t been a mother, I don’t know if I would have been able to bring the same energy that I did into it,” she told the publication, adding, “It’s such a struggle being a single mother. Joan doesn’t go about it in the best way … but it is amazing to see her really fighting for her daughter. It’s also really important for kids to see just how hard parents work for them.”
