Things between Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have gotten REAL UGLY, REAL FAST.
Sophie is now SUING Joe, claiming that he’s unlawfully keeping their kids in New York City . . . even though they supposedly agreed she could take them to the U.K. The word “abducted” even came up.
She says they decided AS A FAMILY back in April of this year to raise the kids there because it’s safer. But they’ve been with Joe in the U.S. for several months, because she was busy working.
Sophie claims they made a plan when they were still together that she would finish up with her commitments this month and take the kids to England. But now, Joe’s refusing to hand over their passports so she can do that.
She’s suing Joe in FEDERAL court, because this is an international matter.
Sophie also says that she was blindsided by the divorce. She claims they had an argument on August 15th, and Joe filed on September 1st. She found out on the 5th . . . through the MEDIA.
Joe is denying all of this, obviously. He says Sophie was aware that he was going to file.
He also claims that the Florida court where he filed has an order in place that restricts either of them from taking the kids anywhere else, and if he gave Sophie their passports, he’d be violating it.
However, he says he’s open to sharing custody with Sophie, even if she moves permanently to England.
Joe also says that HE was the one blindsided, by Sophie’s lawsuit. He thought they were on the same page until she filed it.
His lawyer says, quote, “This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst.”
