The actress known for her role as Quaithe on 'Game of Thrones' admits in a radio interview she doesn't have a thick enough skin to take the 'uncalled for' attacks by Internet trolls.

AceShowbiz - Jewish former "Game of Thrones" star Laura Pradelska has disabled the comment section of her Instagram account because she can no longer handle the anti-Semitic abuse she receives.
The German actress, who played Quaithe in the TV series in 2012, tells the BBC she has no idea why trolls have decided to take aim at her for posting "pretty pictures" from film and TV sets online.
"You would be amazed at some of the comments," she tells BBC Radio 6 presenter Emma Barnett, adding her skin "wasn't thick enough to take it".
"It's mostly to do with Israel and it's completely uncalled for, because I tend to post pretty pictures... of the work that I do," she adds.
"I am outspoken and I do work with organisations but that doesn't necessarily have to mean I have a political opinion. I'm not really equipped to go into major discussions."
Laura isn't making any changes to her Twitter account because offensive tweets always come with red flags: "Twitter has a great way of letting me know when the comments get very abusive, so I have a choice whether to see them or not."
