Sophie Turner is one of thousands of celebrities using their platform to send a virtual PSA
to the world to stay indoors, even if that means shading others, like Evangeline Lily,
who openly disagrees with the rest of the world and refuses to practice safe measures.
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and don’t worry, Clevver
isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
Ok, so is it just me, or all because of the pandemic are people now JUST finding out about
this whole Instagram Live thing?
I do have to admit, though, it’s a great way to stream a much more intimate virtual
session with your followers, not to mention MANY fitness companies have live-streamed
full workouts while we’re all practicing self-isolating.
That said, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas went Live on Friday night, and used their platform
to share their thoughts on the virus, while also urging fans to continue to practice safe
measures while staying indoors.
At one point in the video, Sophie seemed to throw a bit of shade toward actress Evangeline
Lilly, who openly refuses to listen to government officials, and is choosing her freedom over
her health.
Evangeline took to Instagram last week to share a photo of her “morning tea” and
captioned the photo QUOTE, “Just dropped my kids off at gymnastics camp.
They all washed their hands before going in.
They are playing and laughing.
#businessasusual”
In the comments section, Evangeline went on to say that the government has taken too much
control and specifically said QUOTE: “Some people value their lives over freedom, some
people value freedom over their lives.
We all make our choices.
Where we are right now feels a lot too close to Marshall Law for my comfort already, all
in the name of a respiratory flu.”
Aside from posting her photo, Evangeline also added some thoughts in the comments of her
post, responding to a few users who had opposing viewpoints,
In one comment, she wrote, “I think we all need to slow down, take a breath and look
at the facts we are being presented with.
They do not add up to the all-out, global lockdown, control, pandemonia and insanity
we are experiencing.
I hope that people will find their peace and sanity where you are soon.
Sending you loving prayers.”
Clearly all of this didn’t sit well with, like, THE ENTIRE WORLD, but Sophie, in particular,
had a few words…
Clearly Sophie and Joe were NOT a fan of Evangeline’s thoughts on the matter.
Sophie emphasising her thoughts on people's value of “Freedom” over their health led
a lot of fans to see this as specific shade directed towards Evangeline’s comments.
But I’m curious to hear yours… do you agree with Evangeline?
Or do you support Sophie’s thoughts?
Get the conversation going down here in the comments.
As you’d probably suspect, many users took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Sophie’s
PSA, in full agreement with her while also living for the shade.
One fan pointed out, “i’m living for sophie turner dragging evangeline lilly and vanessa
hudgens after they said the coronavirus quarantine is overdramatic and they value their freedoms
over their health.
sophie did not come to play.”
Another user wrote, “Sophie Turner said use your brain and don’t be as stupid as
evangeline lilly.
listen to her.
stay inside.
queen shit.”
Celebrities are doing everything they can to spread awareness, so it’s not exactly
ideal when so few don’t feel the need to stay home and away from groups of other people
for the time being.
Many other celebs are doing their part in raising awareness, like donating money and
meals to people who have lost their jobs, starting viral internet challenges like the
#IStayAtHomeFor challenge, and even streaming their own live concerts as a source of entertainment
while cooped up.
So let’s not do as Evangeline does, but rather, let’s continue to practice social
distancing, self-isolation and finding creative outlets to keep ourselves busy and healthy
while this pandemic passes.
For now, I know this is a touchy subject for many, so let’s all try to stay as positive
as possible.
I wanna know all your thoughts on Evangeline’s take on the pandemic, and what Sophie had
to say, so get to talking down here in the comments.
