Actress Joey King, who gained major fandom with her work in 바카라The Kissing Booth바카라 franchise, has opened up about facing anti-semitism at the age of 12 and also having trauma counselors on the sets of Holocaust series 'We Were the Lucky Ones' set'.

Talking about her facing anti-semitism, the 24-year-old actress said it was when she joined Instagram at age 12.

바카라Within the first couple months I got my first anti-Semitic remark and it would dip in terms of how frequent or how much it would happen, and it would kind of roller coaster in terms of how often I would experience it, but that was shocking when I was that age,바카라 she said.

바카라Now I just expect it because anti-semitism is not the only thing I experience in terms of bullying online. So it almost feels like one of many symptoms of a grand diagnosis of horrible Internet people. I바카라m saddened, but I바카라m not really surprised.바카라

She is gearing up for 'We Were the Lucky Ones', a series based on Georgia Hunter바카라s best-selling novel of her family바카라s fight to survive the Holocaust. It also stars Logan Lerman, Sam Woolf, Robin Weigart, Lior Ashkenazi, Hadas Yaron, Amit Rahav and Eva Feiler.

바카라I think anyone who is a method actor is truly so brave and amazing, but I바카라m personally not a method actor,바카라 King told 'Just for Variety' podcast.

The actress added: 바카라And when shooting a show like this, I just don바카라t know how I could be because having those moments of release in between setups and in between takes with your friends (is needed).바카라

바카라Sometimes you need that release at the snack table with each other바카라because it got really dark,바카라 she added.

The actress said that it would get so sad and there would be times where 바카라you just didn바카라t know when it was going to hit you.바카라

바카라Everyone had different moments where we바카라re all sitting there having a nice time together, just filming a scene and then someone is hyperventilating and crying because it바카라s a wave that washes over you,바카라 she said.

The channel also made trauma therapists available for cast and crew on set, reports variety.com.

바카라They would come and check on each of us a lot, which I thought was so great,바카라 King said.

King바카라s movie nights with co-stars were particularly helpful: 바카라We바카라d watch 바카라Finding Nemo바카라 because we just needed to.바카라
