Those Sophie Turner Party Photos Were Misrepresented, Says Bartender: ‘She Wasn’t Getting Smashed’

According to a new report from TMZ, multiple sources say Jonas has been “less than supportive” of Turner, who was allegedly “struggling” after the birth of their second child. TMZ reports, “Our sources say, after their youngest child was born a year ago July, Sophie didn’t want to leave their home…. She didn’t want to be photographed or go to events. Nevertheless, she attended several events with Joe, but at one specific event, several people who were there said Sophie made it clear she was uncomfortable and didn’t want to be there.”

Sources added that Jonas complained that Turner “needed to get out more.”

Meanwhile, People reports that the reason the kids have been staying with Jonas is because there is “more support” available to them while he tours with family than they would have in the UK, where Turner was shooting her latest project. “She has been shooting, which is why the kids have been with Joe,” the source said. “It’s just been easier because she’s been working for the kids to be with him because there’s some more support at home and on the road with his family. It’s something they both agreed was best.”

September 7, 2023: The Daily Mail reports that Turner “downed cocktails and shots” on Saturday, September 2, at the wrap party for her latest project, the TV show Joan, which had just finished filming in the UK. They attributed this summary of events to bartender Hezron Stephenson, who works at DropShots (the bar where the wrap party was held) and who had shared photos of himself and Turner on social media.

The story surfaced days after a “source” leaked that Turner “liked to party” while Jonas preferred to stay home with the kids. (This narrative, of course is a thinly veiled attempt to smear Turner as a bad mother. More on that here.)

The bartender says he was “shocked” to find out about her divorce a few days after the party because of “how happy and relaxed she was.”

“But it also made sense because it was obvious when I was with Sophie that she wanted to return to her days of partying,” Stephenson tells the Mail. “I sensed that she was missing those times.”

On September 8, Stephenson speaks out about the Daily Mail’s characterization of his story in a video published on TikTok. “Everything’s been spun in a terrible way and I feel like such a prick,” he says. “All this is my fault and I’m very sorry for it. It wasn’t intentional.”

Stephenson covers a lot of ground in the four-minute TikTok video, noting that he didn’t really know who Turner was or anything about her life before she came to the bar. He adds that the reason they had discussed clubs was because they learned they’re from the same area. Just normal small talk.

“It wasn’t even a party,” Stephenson explains, countering the Mail’s version of events. “It was literally like 40 people there— there were producers, executives, they were people that she was working with. And now it’s been spun about like she was out on the set.” [Ed. note: “The set” is British slang for a party, and not the work-related kind.]
