Sophie Turner divorce from Joe Jonas
  • Sophie Turner talked about her divorce from singer Joe Jonas.
  • She reflected on the end of their once-beautiful relationship.
  • She expressed how out of place she felt while living abroad.

Sophie Turner recently spoke out about her “incredibly sad” divorce from singer Joe Jonas, just weeks after both were officially declared single.

In a cover interview for a foreign magazine, the “Game of Thrones” star reflected on the end of their once-beautiful relationship, noting that it was a challenging time for both of them. “I’m going through a legal process right now where I can’t really say much, but it was incredibly sad,” she shared.

Turner, who moved back to England after the divorce, expressed how out of place she felt while living abroad. “It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family,” she explained. The couple, who began dating in 2016 and married twice in 2019, filed for divorce in September after four years of marriage.

In the aftermath, Turner filed for custody of their two daughters, Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2, leading to a temporary custody agreement in October. Their divorce was finalized last month after a lengthy and contentious process, with the ex-spouses agreeing to a friendly co-parenting arrangement focused on the well-being of their children.

Chunky Panday reveals why he often has arguments with Ananya Panday

Chunky Panday
  • Chunky Panday revealed that he often had arguments with Ananya.
  • He urged her to focus on achieving stardom.
  • He admitted he initially wanted Ananya to prioritize becoming a star.

Ananya Panday has become one of the most celebrated actresses in the industry, showcasing her talent and solidifying her status. Her father, Chunky Panday, recently revealed that he often had arguments with Ananya, urging her to focus on achieving stardom before pursuing a mainstream acting career.

In a conversation with Mid Day, Chunky admitted he initially wanted Ananya to prioritize becoming a star. However, as she gains recognition for her roles in projects like CTRL and Call Me Bae, he’s happy to acknowledge that she may have been right all along. He reflected, “I used to have fights with her because I felt she should do [mainstream] cinema and she’d say, ‘Dad, I want to be an actor.’ I’d respond saying, ‘You be an actor later, first you become a star.’ Now, I’m realising that perhaps she was right.”

Earlier this year, Chunky appeared on Cyrus Broacha’s podcast, discussing a phase he calls “reverse nepotism.” He noted that since Ananya’s rise to stardom, he has been receiving more work, expressing surprise and pride in this attention. He admitted, “I have never relished my success as much as I do hers.”

The duo starred together in the 2022 film Liger, where Chunky played Ananya’s father. Reflecting on their dynamic, he remarked that while they aimed to outshine each other, she would always remain his little girl. Ananya has often expressed pride in her father’s long career, emphasizing that he has earned respect in the industry.

NY court orders Sean Diddy’s accuser to reveal identity otherwise lawsuit will be dismissed

Sean Diddy's accuser
  • Sean Diddy’s accuser, A Jane Doe is ordered to reveal her identity.
  • She had accused Diddy of sexual assault at a party.
  • The lawsuit will be dismissed if she doesn’t reveal her identity.

A Jane Doe, who has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault at a party two decades ago, has been ordered by a New York judge to reveal her identity. If she does not comply, her lawsuit will be dismissed, according to Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil of the Southern District. While acknowledging Doe’s right to privacy, the judge stressed that legal action against a high-profile individual requires accountability.

The ruling comes shortly after Sean Diddy faced six new lawsuits, with attorney Tony Buzbee suggesting that as many as 100 more may follow. Judge Vyskocil stated that Doe, who filed anonymously, has chosen to “accuse a famous person of engaging in heinous conduct approximately twenty years ago” and claimed that several businesses were complicit. The judge ruled that Doe “has not carried her burden to show that she is entitled to” anonymity.

Doe has until November 13 to resubmit her lawsuit under her real name. Represented by Buzbee, who is also handling over 120 other lawsuits against Diddy related to sex trafficking and misconduct, the woman alleges that Diddy invited her and a friend to a private party, where he allegedly threatened them if they did not comply with his sexual demands.

Additionally, on October 30, Diddy faced a new allegation involving the assault of a 10-year-old boy in 2005, part of two lawsuits filed by Buzbee in Manhattan court. The plaintiff claims he was coerced into sexual acts under the pretense of an audition arranged by a consultant.
