Sophie Turner Made a Pretty Damn NSFW Joke About Joe Jonas’s Purity Ring Days
True love means being able to brutally—but still somehow playfully/lovingly—drag your S.O., and if that statement doesn’t seem 100 percent accurate to you, then clearly you have not yet witnessed the glory of Netflix’s Jonas Brothers Family Roast.
In the new special, Sophie Turner made a *most* NSFW joke about how her husband, Joe Jonas, and his brothers/her brothers-in-law, Nick and Kevin Jonas, wore purity rings when they were in the teen boy band phase of their fame. Specifically, Sophie poked fun at the behind-the-scenes hypocrisy that was going down on Joe’s part.
“No, the rings weren’t a good idea. Yes, as a gesture, they’re laughably, toe-curlingly lame. But remember, this was about more than a gesture. This was about faith. This was about principle. This was about taking a stand and setting an example,” Sophie said (per ET Online) during the special before entering some fully NSFW territory. “Look, Joe wasn’t just sticking his fingers in some dumb metal rings. He was sticking his fingers in costars, actresses, and even a supermodel or two.”
Nick’s and Kevin’s wives, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Danielle Jonas, were both visibly shocked and amused by the amazingly brutal joke. Sophie isn’t the first member of the Jonas fam to address the purity ring phase. In 2019, the JoBros opened up about the story behind the rings—and how their feelings about them changed over time—during an interview on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
“Purity rings were to wait for the right person, when the time was right. And here’s the catch—when you’re, like, 12 and you do that, because we grew up in a church and our dad was a pastor, so it kind of just came natural for everyone we grew up with to go through this and get one and say, ‘I’m gonna wait for the right person.’ Some people would say, ‘I’m gonna wait until marriage,’” Joe explained at the time, according to W magazine. “When you’re about 15, 16, and start dating, and you go, ‘Wait a minute. What did I say I was gonna do?’”
Joe went on to say, “The funny thing is, we were never gonna talk about it. Of course, you have three young boys wearing rings on their fingers, and everyone is like, ‘Are they married already?’ We were in an interview one day, and the guy asked about them and we said we didn’t wanna talk about them, and he said, ‘Well, I’m just gonna say you’re in a cult.’ The next thing you know, it was the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings.…We decided at one point, look, this is not who we are…this is annoying, people are making fun of it anyway, we can make fun of it ourselves.”
