An actress who starred in Game of Thrones is ‘devastated’ after her baby was taken away by social services in Israel.
Josephine Gillan, who played Marei the prostitute in GoT, said her eight-month old daughter Gloria was removed from her care in the middle of the night.
The 31-year-old shared an upsetting video of little Gloria being taken away by a woman while two men in uniform kept watch.
The person behind the camera can be heard arguing with the social workers as the group head off into the night with the baby.
Josephine tweeted: “The disturbing moment that the #Israeli #socialservices kidnapped my baby! At 12:30pm at night on Sunday!
“My friend pleaded! But was threatened with jail if she did not hand over my baby! Me & loving friend and her family! We are all heartbroken! #IsraeliCrimes #unjust.”
Josephine later posted a GoFundMe to raise money for a legal team to help her challenge the decision.
She revealed that at five-months-old Gloria had gone to live with a friend while she underwent therapy for postnatal depression on the orders of social services.
Gloria had been living with her again until they took her away last week and Josephine has not been allowed to see her since.
She posted: “I’m not allowed to see her or have contact! I have no idea where she is!! I was not there at the time and was not aware of what they had done! It’s absolutely outrageous! I have not done anything wrong and neither has my friend who was caring from her!
“They threatened to take my friend to jail if she doesn’t give our Gloria! They marched her out with police either side of her and took her away into the night!”
Josephine said she isn’t working right now and is asking for donations to help with legal costs.

She continued: “No child should be without their parent! Especially if they are good and care for the child devotedly!
I appreciate you reading this and please find it in your heart to help and also your prayers would mean a lot also! I’m heartbroken at the moment and just want to see and be with my baby girl again.”
Josephine played prostitute Marei in Game of Thrones for eight episodes.
She was working as a prostitute when she saw the advert for auditions and she says it saved her from a life of sex work and drug abuse.
