Outnumbered actress Ramona Marquez, 15, hits out after cruel trolls accuse her of taking drugs at Reading Festival
The star who played Karen on the show is now 15
THE actress who played Karen in the popular sitcom Outnumbered has hit out after she was accused of taking drugs at Reading Festival.
Ramona Marquez – who was just six when she appeared on the BBC show – expressed her upset after seeing comments online following her fun weekend at the music festival.
One fellow festival-goer snapped the star, now 15, sitting on a friends shoulders – which they captioned: “Karen from outnumbered was in front of me at stormzy off her nut how peakkk????.”
Another person who recognised the actress, tweeted: “Reading was all good until I saw Karen from outnumbered pinging out of her nut????”
While someone else wrote: “Amy and i saw karen from outnumbered off her face at reading lool.” (sic).
Taking to Instagram last night Ramona, who has undergone a major transformation since the show finished in 2014, blasted the comments.
She wrote: “I really enjoyed Reading and meeting lots of fans and cool people it was so lit ???? it is pretty upsetting though now seeing people posting about me and saying that Im doing drugs and really horrible things like that??
“I just don't understand why people feel the need to being a**holes, it's such a p**s take. But apart from that everyone was so lovely.”
Earlier this year Ramona and her co-stars Daniel Roche and Tyger Drew-Honey shocked fans when they posed for a picture together – looking completely unrecognisable.
Daniel (Ben) was seven and Tyger (Jake) was 11 when they first started on the sitcom which was based on the kids of Pete and Sue.
