Folks, you shouldn't lie on Instagram. It can backfire in ways you aren't ready for.

In this case, Instagram user Olivia Bowes got a picture with Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen. She then proceeded to make fun of his character, Theon Greyjoy, in her caption.

"Unlike Theon I grew some balls and asked for a photo," she said. Funny enough, given that Theon was famously castrated in the show.

But a lie, it turns out. And Allen, who is not Theon in real life, proceeded to call her out in the comments.

Oh, the irony.
