Sophie Turner Shames 'Game Of Thrones' Fans For 'Disrespectful' Petition Demanding HBO Redo The Final Season! - Perez Hilton
Sophie Turner is so over fans’ fiery hatred of the final season of Game of Thrones !
The 23 -year-old actress opened up about
She defended a line that Sansa said about survival earlier in the season, which fans believed gave credit to Sansa’s abusers. While speaking to the Hound in episode four, The Last Of The Starks , the future Queen in the North said:
” Without Littlefinger and Ramsay and the rest, I would’ve stayed a little bird all my life .”
The line rapidly sparked outrage from fans, including actress Jessica Chastain , who blasted the writers for implying that the brutal rapes Sansa suffered during her matrimony with Ramsay Bolton constructed her “stronger.”
But according to Turner, Sansa’s message was very much about how strong she was since the beginning of the series. The actress explained:
” I patently think that’s not a message to spread. But I don’t think that was the intention. It was that she was strong in spite of all of the horrific things that she’s is going through , not because of them. She’s had resilience since the very beginning, and despite all of these awful things that happened to her, she’s kept that resilience. Sansa to the core is resilient and brave and strong, and that had nothing to do with her abusers .”
There you have it … straight from the Queen’s mouth.
It’s no secret that portraying the little plunge has been an incredible personal journey for Turner, who thanked her character, the depict, and even the sometimes “disrespectful” fans, in an emotional Instagram post a day after the finale aired. She wrote:
” Sansa, Thank you for teach me resilience, fortitude and what true strength really is. Thank you teaching me to be kind and patient and to lead with love. I grew up with you. I fell in love with you at 13 and now 10 years on .. at 23 I leave you behind, but I will never leave behind what you’ve taught me. To the indicate and the incredible people who make it, thank you for giving me the best life and drama lessons I could have ever asked for. Without you I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Thank you for giving me this chance all those years ago. And eventually to the fans. Thank you for falling in love with these characters and supporting this show right through till the end. I’ll miss this more than anything .”
Long live!
