Best recognized for her emotionally charged appearances in Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey recently made a heartfelt revelation about the harsh criticism she has received online for playing a lesbian character in intimate scenes. The internet is listening to her unvarnished thoughts and emotions.
In an open interview, she remarked, “They don’t respect me because of my face,” her voice breaking. It has nothing to do with my performing. The story isn’t important. It kills me that it’s about my appearance.
Following a contentious sequence in her most recent production in which she plays in a sultry, sensual moment with another female character, Ramsey—who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns she/they—has been the target of intense criticism. Despite receiving accolades from critics for its realism and depth, the moment has regrettably attracted a barrage of harsh remarks from internet trolls, many of whom have concentrated more on Bella’s looks than on the acting or plot point.
Bella Ramsey has already made a reputation for herself in Hollywood at the young age of 21. She immediately became a fan favorite thanks to her powerful, fiery portrayal as Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones. Later, fans praised her emotional depth and strong on-screen presence for her nuanced depiction of Ellie in The Last of Us.
However, Ramsey has now discovered that there is a negative aspect to fame.
