Sophie Turner appeared to call out Evangeline Lilly on her Instagram Live over the weekend, days after the “Ant-Man and the Wasp” actress, 40, took a stance against social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Stay inside,” the pregnant “Game of Thrones” star, 24, urged in the clip alongside husband Joe Jonas. “Don’t be f–king stupid. Even if you count your ‘freedom’ over … your health.”
Last week, Lilly detailed how life went on “#businessasusual,” as she “dropped [her] kids off at gymnastics camp,” and “all washed their hands before going in.” The “Lost” alum, who is also living with her father who has stage 4 leukemia, later responded to fans’ concerns.
“I have two young kids. Some people value their lives over freedom, some people value freedom over their lives. We all make our choices,” Lilly said at the time.
Turner, who didn’t mention Lilly by name, explained that by not taking precautions “you could be infecting other people.”
“Stay inside, guys. It’s not cool, it’s not big, and it’s not clever,” Turner said, adding, “And that’s the tea.”
