[@bellamelll1]

@@IWantToMature85 I imagine it wasn't easy for her to live through her divorces and hear or read the negative comments that surely came her way. in my opinion people don't understand that behind a celebrity there is a person with the same insecurities and fears as her and we should just support them. then Sophia is so cute and adorable that I don't understand why you attack her.

I met Sophia many years ago in a small health food store named Lovey's in Wilmington North Carolina. Our conversation was brief but I was greatful to get to meet her and have a moment in time. Very happy she found her light in life and wish her the best! She is a beautiful woman and a positive human. Please keep speaking up and advocating for those whom have no voice!

[@Diannalomagro]

No one needs to apologize for finding themselves especially with who they find themselves with. As someone who has had the same experience (I was married and my now partner was married), you don’t expect it. You don’t wish for it to end and you don’t do it because it’s fun. You find a pull that you cannot ignore and that’s the pull of finding yourself and finally understanding who you are.

[@aionnacasey2710]

So you both cheated on your partners? Got it

… ok yeah they broke up a fam. I give them a 2 years tops and she’ll find a new connection😂.

[@joslynhart9397]

I truly hope Sophia is happy. But if you look back at what she CHOSE to write about her ex in articles and CHOSE to say about him on podcasts, something is amiss. Watching what she voluntarily said on Podcrushed as an example, to the narrative being portrayed now is really concerning for a lot of people who have followed her career through the years and what she has historically said. I’ve never seen another public figure do this to the level she has. I hope there is self-awareness going on behind the scenes, because it is truly sad if there is none.

I want to support her, glad she found herself. But there are billions of ppl in this world. In my opinion the 2nd she started having feelings for ashlyn she should have cut ties. Saying you have nothing to apologize for is pretty self involved.

[@styrojeff]

She might have a few things to apologize for.

[@davidpride8199]

Have always loved her. But we only knew her screen, characters. And that love hasn't changed. It's her private right, to be who she wants, including fulfilling desires, for a woman. Girl on girl admissions right now, are in. Especially with what appears single women in midlife, without children. So I hope this is more than just a thing, for our Sophia. Many men, have loved and lost, Sophia. For some, that pain, was real. If only, they knew. Did she, back then? Did it matter, to them?

[@sarahellen6240]

This ain’t it. Ashlyn can’t be called newly separated if her wife didn’t know they were separated.

[@ExpectoPatronum28]

Right. Sophia is self-important and exhausting and full of it. She's a cheater and a liar.

@bictoriaorso8113, “so intuitive”? She married two different men and only now figures out she likes women instead? Not the definition if intuitive…..at all!

[@Lostinthislife7766]

Here the thing, no matter how they frame this, they will always be under scrutiny. Sofia was pursuing Ashlynn since the year she got married. There will never be any good optics for these two. It’s better to just let the attention die and be happy with one another than bringing up the fact, that they were both complicit in endings a 14 year relationship, and a marriage with children, and they both did it by blindsiding the other person in the cruelest of ways. I get it you can’t help who you fall in love with, but you two will never be the good guys here. Go off, love one another, but stop attention seeking, and just live your lives, only time will tell.

[@avphotog]

She asked a married woman out so I'd say she at least has one thing to apologize for.
