During a candid interview with British Vogue, Turner opened up about her divorce from Jonas as well as her reaction to the media's portrayal of her as a mom. "I remember I was on set, 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..." the mom of two told the outlet.

"It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother — mom guilt is so real!" Turner explained. "I just kept having to say to myself, 'None of this is true. You are a good mum and you've never been a partier.' "

Elsewhere in the interview, she also discussed how she hated the public perception of being one of the Jonas Brothers' "wives," referring to how she, Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas would often be called the J Sisters as they stepped out with the singers.

"There was a lot of attention on the three brothers, and the wives," she said. "Well, we were always called the wives, and I hated that."

"It was kind of this plus-one feeling," added Turner. "And that’s nothing to do with him – in no way did he make me feel that – it was just that the perception of us was as the groupies in the band."
