Game of Thrones' Laura Pradelska reveals sickening anti-Semitic abuse she suffers online

Game Of Thrones star Laura Pradelseka has been forced to turn off her Instagram comments after sickening trolls bombarded her with anti-Semitic abuse.

Laura, who stars as Quaithe in the Westeros fantasy series, revealed to Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 5 Live that her heritage has left her vulnerable by sickening abuse online, when it’s completely unwarranted.

She told the radio host: ‘You would be amazed at some of the comments I get. I must say, I have disabled my comments on my Instagram, simply because my skin wasn’t thick enough to take it.’

After posted a memorial for her on Instagram was when the hate began, causing her to eventually turn off any outside comment.
