Seriously, for Real, What Did Joe Jonas Do?

OK, this is starting to get fishy as hell. Starting Sunday, Joe Jonas’ team — and it is very clearly his team — has been working overtime to paint the picture of a dedicated father who got stuck with his kids while an underemployed Sophie Turner is out partying. For a brief minute, the two released a joint statement claiming it was a mutual and amicable decision while requesting privacy for the sake of their children. Pay close attention to that last part because the two of them have been extremely careful about releasing any information about their kids. Until now! In a wildly aggressive move, Joe was conveniently papped taking both of his daughters to an outdoor restaurant. When Page Six reported on the photos, they couldn’t even name the second daughter because nobody knows what it is. That’s how tight of a lid Sophie kept, and you can now guarantee it was Sophie. As for why Joe felt the need to make sure everyone sees him with the kids? The tweet below sums it up.

Thanks to Genevieve for the smooth assist:

sorry I’m getting teary-eyed it’s just that 20 years ago all the media would be parroting the PR statements about on “what sophie did to poor lil boy Joe” but today my feed is “oh those PR quotes mean he fucked up bad” and I just think that’s beautiful

Robert Kirkman talks Invincible Season 2. It seems like this show got a weird reception when it came out during COVID, but after recently watching it, I can safely say it slaps. (Polygon)

Emmalita, who cooks for fun, was intrigued by the “food you can make so you don’t die” tagline on Zilla Novikov and Rachel A.
