[quote=Anonymous]Framing is everything on this, and you have to think about why these gossip rags frame the story a certain way (hint: it's because the leak is from a particular party, and that party will only give them the scoop if the frame it in a favorable way, it is a PR game).

Example: several outlets have reported that Joe has had the kids "on his own" for the last few months while Sophie has been filming "Joan" in the UK. But setting aside the fact that no rich celebrity ever has kids "on their own" (they have a cadre of hired help), this is not remotely true. Joe spent several months this summer IN THE UK with the kids, staying with/near Sophie's family.

This is reported as Joe's last-ditch effort to save the marriage, like this proves some extensive commitment to Sophie and the marriage. But... does it? Sophie is an actor who got a role filming on location in the UK, where she is from and has tons of family. Joe is a musician with quite a bit of flexibility in when and where he works (sure, less flexibility with touring locations, but lots of flexibility with where and when he writes and records). Sophie has not worked in several years because she has been pregnant and home with the kids.

So it is really above and beyond for Joe to (1) serve as primary parent while Sophie films, or (2) for him to bring the kids to the UK where she is and spend time there with her and her family?

No. That's a normal, sort of bare minimum thing to do in a marriage like this. As an actor, Sophie has to go where the filming is, where there is a role available for her and where she is cast. If they were really a partnership, Joe coming to the UK for a couple months and being primary parent while she films (again, for a few months, it's not like this show is a 5 yr commitment) would not be considered some huge sacrifice on his part.

All the leaks are coming from Joe and they are framing it like Sophie is an absent mom because she took ONE job and Joe had to spend a few months as primary parent and spend a little time in the UK with Sophie and her family. That's incredibly sketchy and manipulative.

Sophie could EASILY be leaking stuff about her experience at home with the kids the last couple years, about the appropriateness of Joe taking the kid's on tour (and choosing to tour now while she is working, after she just took a long hiatus of rate kids) and putting them in front of cameras, etc. She's said nothing.

She is a class act who is acting in ways to protect her kids and their relationship. He is being an absolute toad trying to trash his kids' mother in the press in order to "win" a divorce that, it appears, he is demanding simply because Sophie's entire life doesn't revolve around his.

Team Sophie, all the way.  Also she is more talented than he is.[/quote]
