Doorcam footage could reveal the reason for Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas getting a divorce as the topic of what was said is revealed. This month, musician Joe Jonas filed for divorce from the Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner after four years of marriage. While the divorce papers cited that the marriage was “irretrievably broken”, several sources told gossip site TMZ that ring camera footage which had caught Turner saying some disparaging things made Jonas acknowledge that their marriage was essentially over. Now, the content of the footage has been shared with USWeekly. The anonymous source said that the doorbell caught Turner telling her friend “some not-so-nice things about Jonas”. The source added: “It wasn’t anything more than that, but that was the final straw.” “Nobody thought things would get this nasty between Joe and Sophie. Friends are hopeful they can be mature for the sake of the kids, but neither one is going to acquiesce to the other. This could go on for a very long time,” they continued. The couple share two children, with their first daughter, Willa, born in July 2020. Their second child, Delphine arrived in July 2022.

It read: “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. “There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.” However, on 21 September, Turner filed a lawsuit against her former partner over the “wrongful retention” of their two children, who remain in New York against Turner’s wishes.

Cardi B has revealed that she believes her Los Angeles house is haunted by a ghost who wants to "f***" her. The rapper detailed her paranormal encounter on Instagram Live where she noted how the ghost seemingly appears when her husband Offset isn't in the house. "I start hearing like a fly sound, right?" Cardi B said in the video, recalling what she experiences when she believes the ghost to be in her presence. “Bro, I haven't been able to find the f***ing fly, I started hearing this sound in the hallway. “It sounds like somebody's on the phone." Clearly spooked by the noise, the Bongos rapper asked her security guard to investigate the sound - only for the noise to stop when he appeared. "B****, tell me how the sound is gone? It's gone out of nowhere," she said. "All I'm saying to you is that there's a f***ing ghost or spirit in this f***ing house." "When I'm alone, it always wanna f*** with me," she added, believing this to be the reason why it only appears when she's alone. "Mind you, when I be in the house in Atlanta or New York, there's nothing." "I'm so disoriented because I'm so alone in this house with this f***ing ghost that clearly wants to f*** me because he only comes around when I'm here and by myself.” “I’m f***ing over it,” she concluded. Now an episode of Ghost Hunting with Cardi B would be epic. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
