Co-passenger thought Joey King had cancer

Joey King made fans’ jaws drop when she revealed that she’d shaved her head for an upcoming role. But not everyone has been so nice about The Kissing Booth star’s chic new style. The 19-year-old actress recently took to social media slamming a rude airplane passenger who didn’t want to sit near her because he thought she had cancer, reports JustJared.com.

“Y’all I’m on a plane & this man next to me literally turned to me with his phone in my face & took a photo of me as if I wouldn’t notice & texted his wife that he’s sitting next to a girl who has cancer (just cuz I’m bald) & that hes scared to ‘catch it’…Y R PPL STUPID SUMTIMES,” Joey wrote.

She further added, “I read his text over his shoulder it said ‘some bald chick next to me with cancer coughed and I don’t wanna catch it’…..um ya jokin?”
