Jessica Chastain Shows Support for Sophie Turner Amid Divorce Drama: Queen of the North Speaks Out
In the midst of Sophie Turner’s tumultuous divorce from Joe Jonas, actress Jessica Chastain has stepped forward to lend her support to the Game of Thrones star. The Academy Award-winning actress took to Twitter on Friday to quote-tweet a message from author Roxane Gay, who weighed in on the public downfall of Turner and Jonas. Gay’s tweet highlighted the interesting dynamics at play, particularly referencing Turner’s iconic role as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones.
Chastain and Turner shared the screen in the 2019 film Dark Phoenix, and the bond between the two actresses seems to have extended beyond their on-screen collaboration. Chastain’s presence was felt at Turner and Jonas’ second wedding ceremony in France in June 2019, as she commented on Turner’s Instagram post of the newlyweds walking down the aisle, expressing her love for the moment.
Support for Turner has also come from another famous face, Taylor Swift, who previously dated Jonas back in 2008. The pair was recently spotted leaving a restaurant together in New York City, displaying their solidarity. This act of girl-power was repeated when Turner, Swift, and some friends enjoyed a dinner together on Thursday.
The show of support from Chastain and Swift comes in response to fans criticizing Jonas for what they perceive as a smear campaign against his estranged wife, aimed at portraying her as a bad mother to their two young daughters. Jonas filed for divorce from Turner earlier this month, a move that allegedly caught her off guard, as she claims to have found out about it through the media. The British-born actress is now taking legal action against Jonas, accusing him of preventing their children from returning to their forever home in England.
As the divorce drama continues to unfold, Turner can at least take solace in the support she is receiving from friends and fellow celebrities like Chastain and Swift. Their public display of solidarity serves as a reminder that even in the midst of personal trials, it is possible to find strength in the company of others.
