Olivia Cooke says fandom hostility contributed to her social-media break.

Olivia Cooke says hostility in the House of the Dragon fandom contributed to her decision to step away from social media. Variety reports that the actor, who plays Alicent Hightower, described what she saw in the fandom as “ugliness,” with misogyny and racism among her characterizations. Cooke stepped away ahead of the show’s third season; Vulture reported that she had deactivated her accounts and was off social media while the season aired.
