Sophie Turner calls for privacy after accidentally posting daughter on Instagram

Posting on social media to ask for privacy may seem counterintuitive, but Sophie Turner said it was a necessary after she "made an honest mistake" sharing a video of her daughter on Instagram.

The actress and mother of two shared a statement on her Instagram Story addressing the since-deleted video and her privacy concerns. She also pleaded for anyone with the recorded footage to take it down and delete it.

"Earlier today I made an honest mistake accidentally posting a video of our daughter on instagram stories. We have always advocated for our kids’ rights to privacy so sharing this publicly is something that is against anything I stand for. Our children deserve the right to grow up out of the public eye, to learn and grow in private," Turner said in a statement.

The 27-year-old added, "If I ever were to post anything of our kids, know that it is unquestionably a mistake. I would greatly appreciate if anyone who has reposted on any other platform, please delete the video."

Despite the "Game of Thrones" star's status in the spotlight alongside her husband Joe Jonas, Turner has been outspoken in the past about her family's privacy.

In 2021, she criticized paparazzi who took photos of their kids, saying she did not want their photos made public.

Even before she became a mother, Turner addressed her struggle with scrutiny on social media in a 2019 podcast. She said at the time that social media contributed to depression when she was 17 and had caused her to seek out therapy.
