Joey King called a passenger who thought he had cancer and treated her badly for that

In the "news that makes us angry" today, actress Joey King posted about a passenger companion who thought she had cancer and treated her badly because of that. The 19-year-old actress (who is currently wearing a shaved head for a role) went on Twitter on Sunday, November 18 to share the series of events. Kingg wrote: "I am all on a plane and this man next to me literally reduced to me with the phone in his face and took a picture of me as if he had not noticed and sent a text message to his wife saying that he would sit next to a girl who has cancer (just because I am bald) and that she is afraid of "catching it" ... YR PPL STUPID SUMTIMES ".

She followed up with another tweet (and a very appropriate meme), writing: "I read your text message over my shoulder that said 'a bald girl next to me with cancer of Fckn coughed and I do not want to infect me' ... and jokin? "

The Kissing Booth actress recently shaved her head for an upcoming role in The Act, a series of anthologies of Hulu's true crime about Gypsy Rose Blanchard. The movie will follow Gypsy Rose (King) as she tries to escape the toxic relationship she has with her mother Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette), who has Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

Then, no, rude passenger on the plane: not all shaving heads are signs of cancer, nor can cancer be contagious remotely or something that you should be cruel to. Since the American Cancer Society summit s out, "There is no proof that close contact or things like sex, kissing, touching, sharing food or breathing the same air can spread cancer from one person to another."

Here is the hope that ignorance is not contagious.
