Sophie Turner Is Not, In Fact, Trying To Make This 'Controversial Trend Happen'
It seems Sophie Turner has recovered from the heartbreak of not being able to eat pasta for breakfast just in time to set the record straight about what is and is not a “trend.”
Page Six reported last week that the “Game of Thrones” actor, recently photographed in New York City wearing socks and sandals, was “attempting to make this controversial trend happen.”
Cue a collective eye roll from the internet, along with Turner herself.
“Nah we’ve all been taking out the trash like this for years and you know it,” she tweeted on Monday. “I’m not trying to make anything happen other than giving my feet some much needed TLC.”

That response amassed its own response. More than 300,000 people liked the tweet, with some pointing out the absurdity of calling socks and sandals a “trend” just because they were spotted on a white actor. “Black people have been doing this long before you,” one person wrote.
To @SophieT and @PageSix,
You obviously haven't gone to places like NYC, South Central Los Angeles, etc (and please don't). Black people have been doing this long before you and the tabloids saw fit to call a "controversial trend". Stop biting our shit.— KJ (AKA hoodmistress) (@indigenoussista) August 23, 2019
Your newsroom needs more black people https://t.co/xdRkvtNxWs

Slides and socks ???? A trend??? That’s literally black athleisure since the 90s

We’ll go ahead and call this another case of an unnecessary internet happening being quashed in part by none other than the Queen in the North herself.
