The "Game of Thrones" star said keyboard warriors also accused her of getting a buccal fat removal.
Sophie Turner is opening up about being bullied over her eating disorder when she was younger.
“Being a young girl, especially one growing up in the spotlight, you really judge yourself,” the actress, 28, said in an interview for British Vogue’s June cover story.
The “Game of Thrones” star recalled being slammed by online trolls as a teen anytime her weight would fluctuate, adding that even after she recovered from an eating disorder, the negativity didn’t end.
“When you’re bulimic, your face tends to bloat. So when I finally did get better in my early 20s, my face went back to normal,” Turner explained. “Then, suddenly, all the comments were about whether I’d had buccal fat removal or not. So yeah, you can never win.”
The English actress, who has been previously candid about using medication and therapy to treat her mental health issues, admitted she takes social media breaks so her eating disorder doesn’t “flare up” when she’s stressed.
