AceShowbiz - Sophie Turner can always rely on her fans for some support. The actress' devotees have jumped to her defense as she was mum-shamed by critics after sharing photos from a ski trip with her boyfriend Peregrine Pearson.
"Where are your kids?" one of the trolls wrote in the comments section of her post. Another naysayer claimed, "Girl you happy cuz you got away with what you wanted. You seem to have forgotten that you have girls who are gonna suffer the consequences of your actions better prepare yourself."
A third critic sarcastically asked, "Have you forgotten your children?" while a fourth person said, "Shame on you." Someone else urged the 27-year-old star to "be a mom."
Sophie has since been defended by her loyal supporters, with one clapping back at the critics, "Why do people care where her children are? I don't see them in her posts from when she was married?! Why the concern now... other than because they feel it is the opportune time to mum shame."
Another argued, "I'm so confused on why people are asking where her children are. She's never posted her children, yet it was never a question of where they were before her divorce. Why is it in question now?"
"You guys realize as a woman that we have an identity outside of having our children right? A woman is more than a just a mother. Let her move on," a third fan penned. Another person echoed the sentiment, "Friendly reminder: Sophie is 27. She is more than welcome to have a life outside being a mother. She has never posted her kids so why would she now??? and if you're really concerned about the kids then keep the same energy for Joe."
Someone else added, "I'm over the moon. Good on her. I love it! I don't care what anyone says a woman can also do what a man does. Why does a woman always have to have her kids to be a good mummy. Plus I don't think she gives a s**t what judgy people think! Go Sophie."
The mom-shaming comments came after Sophie shared first photos of her new beau on her Instagram page. In one of the snaps, the couple sat next to each other on a ski lift alongside website developer Amadea Kimmins and law associate Rupert Gorst.
Another image saw Sophie standing close to her beau while the foursome posed at the top of a mountain. Sophie was also seen dancing with her two friends at what looks like a pub and walking around a resort. "Jagerbomb anyone?" she captioned the snaps.
