Cersei Lannister slayed herself a troll on Tuesday. Well, it was Lena Headey and it was a social media troll, but the takedown was still epic enough that “Game of Thrones” fans should get a kick out of it.
The HBO fantasy series star shared a screenshot on Instagram of a comment that was left on a video she had previously posted of herself sans makeup: “don’t record yourself without makeup again please.”
Yeah, Headey didn’t take too kindly to those words, written by user hsn_hodor, captioning the screengrab of the comment, “I shall continue to not wear make up. Go f–k your self.”
If that isn’t the most Cersei-way to respond to this situation, we don’t know what is.

Just in case you forgot how savage Headey — er, Cersei — is, allow us to remind you “Game of Thrones” showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff revealed this week that she killed her dead son’s cat.
“Cersei hated the name ‘Ser Pounce’ so much she could not allow him to survive,” Benioff told Entertainment Weekly, in an interview published Monday. “So she came up with her most diabolical [execution]. Ser Pounce’s death was so horrible we couldn’t even put it on the air.”
By the way, it appears the user who trolled Headey was responding to the video below.
