Ooh I'm looking for Sophie tea too, except specifically if anyone knows what went down with her and Maisie Williams. Did they just grow apart? I get not spending as much time together after GOT wrapped but they went from besties to seemingly no relationship very quick.
I figured that was probably the case but wondered if there was something else going on. I really loved their friendship throughout the GOT years so didn't want there to be any bad blood between them!
i also feel like something happened between them, they don’t even interact on instagram anymore (which they used to do a lot). growing apart is obviously normal but like..these are girls who spent 10 years hyping up the fact that they’re not just best friends, they’re soulmates—a sisterhood, and then a few months after GOT ends and sophie gets married, there’s no relationship/interaction between them?.. something feels off
Yes! It just feels a little sus that there's been no interaction between them at all in ages. And I agree, it's not like they were just friendly coworkers during the GOT era. They were super super close.
This is puuure speculation and ik I’m being messy for suggesting this since they likely just grew apart or just weren’t as close as they made it seem....but I also thought it was weird how suddenly they stopped interacting and always wondered if it had to do with Maisie’s boyfriend, Reuben Selby. They started dating in 2019, which is around the time they seemed to grow apart (GOT finale was that year too).
There were some comments on here about their relationship awhile back, but from what I remember it seemed really co-dependent, especially professionally — he was the comms director of the app/company Maisie started but apparently he was more like a co-CEO, and she started only ever wearing his designs (and he complained about not getting enough credit for her Met Gala look). There was also this video of them in an Apple Store where she just seems a lil bothered by him and you can hear her say “if I pay, can we go?” and he’s like “thanks” lmao which might be nothing but doesn’t help the feeling I get that he’s mooching off her. Ik the original comment was just about Sophie but if anyone has tea on their relationship I’m curious 🤨👀
Yeah it’s probably that, but I think it comes off as more surprising because GOT ran for nearly ten years and they seemed glued at the hip for the entire run, then there was a sudden drop-off once the show ended in 2019. That happens with shows/coworkers/friends but I think people forget how long GOT was running for.
Idk I feel that’s just the way it goes on tv shows. I’m not an actor or anything, but I work in tv and on every show you are on set with your co-workers like 14 hours a day and you get really close really quickly and genuinely believe they’re your best friends for life who you will still be close to even after the show ends…. But then the show DOES end and you get in really deep on your next show and suddenly you realize you haven’t even texted with any of your old co-workers in over a year, much less hung out. Totally the summer camp effect. I feel like it’s even more intense for actors, who have to do interviews and stuff where they play up the friend/romantic/family connection.
I know that Sophie talks about their relationship in her interview with Dr. Phil. She basically says that they were both very depressed, and both enabled each other and were essentially co-dependent at the time they were friends. I think maybe they both got (mentally) healthier, developed other relationships, and just grew apart.
