A post on X claiming that Bella Ramsey is “the most hated actress in Hollywood” gained over 40 million views within just a few hours. But is that really the case? Is it true that Bella—who recently learned about an incurable illness—is a star everyone despises? Let’s break it down.
While Ramsey has indeed become a frequent target on social media due to her gender identity and appearance, the claim that she is the most hated star is an exaggeration.
The backlash mainly stems from some fans of The Last of Us video game, who were unhappy with the casting of Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Much of the criticism originates from that gaming community.
However, critics have praised Bella. Many reputable outlets have called her performance outstanding and worthy of recognition. Her co-star Pedro Pascal has publicly shown support, and Bella herself has received nominations for both a BAFTA and an Emmy.
Still, facing such a large wave of hate hasn’t been easy for Bella. She even deleted her social media accounts ahead of the release of The Last of Us Season 2 due to the criticism.
“I always knew I’d delete social media eventually, even though I never wanted to use it in the first place. If I’m not checking Twitter (X) or Reddit—and I’m not—it’s all perfectly fine,” Bella shared.
