But the vitriol towards her and certain other characters has been off the charts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">olivia cooke deactivated her official instagram account \ud83d\ude41 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IfJHBW48Ld\">pic.twitter.com\/IfJHBW48Ld<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83d\udcad (@thinkercooke) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thinkercooke\/status\/2050002646224732215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And one corner of the internet can\u2019t seem to separate fiction from reality, something Cooke spoke about in an interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-features\/olivia-cooke-interview-the-girlfriend-house-of-the-dragon-1236352849\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSome of the fans have been f**king horrible to our cast,\u201d Cooke said, adding that she\u2019s found support in her House of the Dragon co-stars Emma D\u2019Arcy and Matt Smith, who have faced similar criticism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt makes me really angry that we\u2019re then supposed to just bow down and [pay] obeisance to these people that only want to say the most debased, hate-filled things. But thankfully, we\u2019ve all experienced it in our own way, and we\u2019ve got each other, which doesn\u2019t make it right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those comments were made last September, but on Friday 1st May, fans noticed that Cooke\u2019s Instagram account &#8211; where she had more than one million followers &#8211; had been deactivated just a few days after the season three trailer dropped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be clear that the actress hasn\u2019t confirmed why she made this decision, but for now, fans are speaking out against the unjustified hate Cooke has received.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HOTDGreens\/comments\/1t0m8dg\/olivia_cooke_has_deleted_her_account_to_the\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redditor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shared a series of hate post examples against Cooke\u2019s Alicent and other cast and characters, writing, \u201cYall see this?

Mini rant but like the fact that people, many grown adults old enough to be watching this show, don\u2019t seem to grasp the basic distinction between a character and the actor playing them is honestly baffling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over on X, one wrote, \u201cI saw Fabian was getting death threats.

Phillipson"},"description":"Daisy joined Digitalbox in 2026 as an Editor at Film Shrine, where she oversees all things film and TV. Having written for LADbible, Little White Lies, Digital Spy and Dexerto, she\u2019s covered everything from blockbuster releases to niche horror, with a particular obsession for shows like Euphoria, Severance and The Boys. If it\u2019s dark, disturbing or dominating Netflix, Daisy is probably already writing about it.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DaisyWebb77"],"jobTitle":"Editor at Film Shrine","url":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/author\/daisythetab-com\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/filmshrine.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/01\/alicent-hightower-star-deactivates-instagram-after-horrible-house-of-the-dragon-response\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Alicent Hightower star deactivates Instagram after \u2018horrible\u2019 House of the Dragon response","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/01\/alicent-hightower-star-deactivates-instagram-after-horrible-house-of-the-dragon-response\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/01\/alicent-hightower-star-deactivates-instagram-after-horrible-house-of-the-dragon-response\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/house-of-the-dragon-alicent-olivia-cooke-150x150.jpg","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/house-of-the-dragon-alicent-olivia-cooke.jpg"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daisy Phillipson"}],"creator":["Daisy Phillipson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Film Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png"},"keywords":["game of thrones","hbo","house of the dragon","tv"],"dateCreated":"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z","datePublished":"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z","dateModified":"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Alicent Hightower star deactivates Instagram after \\u2018horrible\\u2019 House of the Dragon response\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/01\\\/alicent-hightower-star-deactivates-instagram-after-horrible-house-of-the-dragon-response\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/01\\\/alicent-hightower-star-deactivates-instagram-after-horrible-house-of-the-dragon-response\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/house-of-the-dragon-alicent-olivia-cooke-150x150.jpg\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/house-of-the-dragon-alicent-olivia-cooke.jpg\"},\"articleSection\":\"News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Daisy Phillipson\"}],\"creator\":[\"Daisy Phillipson\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Film Shrine\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/04\\\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png\"},\"keywords\":[\"game of thrones\",\"hbo\",\"house of the dragon\",\"tv\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-01T16:37:26Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/filmshrine.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3045"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3050,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045\/revisions\/3050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3045"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
