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\/07\/02\/avatar-the-last-airbender-season-2-stars-warning-resurfaces-after-mai-thalia-tran-bullying\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Avatar star&#8217;s warning about hate resurfaces after Mai actress faces \u2018disgusting\u2019 bullying","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/07\/02\/avatar-the-last-airbender-season-2-stars-warning-resurfaces-after-mai-thalia-tran-bullying\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/07\/02\/avatar-the-last-airbender-season-2-stars-warning-resurfaces-after-mai-thalia-tran-bullying\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-1-150x150.jpg","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-1.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":["avatar: the last airbender","netflix","news"],"dateCreated":"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z","datePublished":"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z","dateModified":"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Avatar star&#8217;s warning about hate resurfaces after Mai actress faces \\u2018disgusting\\u2019 bullying\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/02\\\/avatar-the-last-airbender-season-2-stars-warning-resurfaces-after-mai-thalia-tran-bullying\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/02\\\/avatar-the-last-airbender-season-2-stars-warning-resurfaces-after-mai-thalia-tran-bullying\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/2-1-150x150.jpg\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/07\\\/2-1.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\":[\"avatar: the last airbender\",\"netflix\",\"news\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-07-02T12:03:04Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/filmshrine.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5960","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=5960"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5967,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5960\/revisions\/5967"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5960"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=5960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
