‘I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,’ she told Vogue recently. ‘There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it.
‘I would call my lawyer saying, “I can’t do this. I just can’t.” I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself.
‘And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for.
‘Once anyone says to me, “Do it for your kids,” I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them.’
At the time, Sophie was in the U.K. filming the TV show Joan, while Joe and their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, one, were in the US.
‘I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out…’ continued the star.
After the news hit the web, rumors erupted that Sophie had been unfaithful or that they had split because she was partying too much – especially after snaps of her enjoying a night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate.
‘It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mom guilt is so real,’ Sophie continued.
‘I just kept having to say to myself, “None of this is true. You are a good mom and you’ve never been a partier.”
‘It’s unfathomable the amount of people that will just make s**t up and put it up based on a picture.
‘A picture might tell a thousand words, but it’s not my story. It felt like I was watching a movie of my life that I hadn’t written, hadn’t produced, or starred in. It was shocking. I’m still in shock.’
During her interview with Vogue, Sophie also admitted that she has suffered from ‘depression and anxiety.’
‘I’m not very good at processing my emotions. I lock them away and then they’ll bubble up in years to come in some form of depression or anxiety,’ she shared.
