Sophie Turner, the actor who plays Sansa Stark in the HBO swords-and-dragons drama ?Game of Thrones,? has issued a statement denying that she hurled a racial slur in an Instagram video.
The video clip features Turner, boyfriend Joe Jonas and others in a gym, with Turner issuing a greeting that some interpreted as containing the N-word.
In a statement, Turner explained, ?I used the word ?motherf-ckers? in a recent video posted in an Instagram story and not a hateful racial slur that has been suggested.?
The actor continued,, ?I am incredibly upset that anyone would think otherwise, and I want to make it clear that I would never use such an abhorrent word.?
