In this YouTube commentary, Sami Wunder condemns a major UK newspaper for publishing photos of Sophie Turner out partying during her divorce from Joe Jonas. Wunder argues that the coverage slanders Turner by portraying her as a reckless, party‑loving mother, which could damage public perception and affect child‑custody considerations. He notes that such sensationalist media intrusion likely upset Turner, who has responded by filing a lawsuit against Jonas alleging he is withholding their two daughters' passports, a claim he frames as a direct retaliation to the press narrative.

One of the big newspapers in the UK published photos of Sophie Turner partying at night with friends and having lots of shots. Now, I can totally understand as a woman myself that, you know, portraying a woman who's going through heartbreak, who's processing divorce, who is a mother of small children, and projecting her in this light is actually trying to slander her, and it's actually trying to create a public perception around her that she's a party animal and she is somebody who likes to drink a lot and probably is not going to be a very responsible mother. And so when I saw that piece of media news, I was already going, hmm, not a very nice thing to do, given that this is such a private affair, given that this is not how you play people against each other who are parents and, you know, where custody of the children is involved. And I do imagine that this kind of media intervention has deeply upset Sophie, and she has gone on to retaliate by suing Joe Jonas now and basically saying that he is holding back the passports of the 2 little girls and this is wrong, and she's suing him for it.
