Joey King Was Splashed By Hot Oil While Cooking Shallots
King first came to prominence as a child star. Notably, she’d played Ramona Quimby in Ramona and Beezus, alongside Selena Gomez.
Since then, King gained larger recognition for The Kissing Booth film series and for playing Gypsy-Rose Blanchard in the crime drama, The Act. King has also had notable roles in films like Uglies, Battle: Los Angeles, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Dark Knight Rises, The Conjuring, White House Down, and Independence Day: Resurgence.
According to The Standard, King recently shared that she recently suffered burns following a cooking accident. Allegedly, around a week ago, hot oil splashed on the star while she was preparing shallots.
King shared what had happened on her Instagram Stories this past Tuesday. The star revealed she had burns around her chin, mouth, and much of her neck. She notably shared images of her wounds both closely following the accident and after they had started to blister.
King Had Opened Up About A Skin Condition This Past Summer
According to King, “I burned myself a few days ago by throwing shallots into a pan of hot oil. I called my mom to tell her and she says, ‘See that’s why I hate cooking.’”
As the publication noted, King is the opposite and is rather fond of cooking. This past November, she had shared images of a pecan pie she made for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Notably, the incident comes out after the actress recently shared she had been suffering from a skin condition. This past summer, King revealed she struggled with perioral dermatitis, which can cause red bumps around the mouth, nose, or eyes.
As King shared in a video, “I’m trying to stop my prescription stuff to make it go away on its own. I just stopped it like a week ago, I started using my other skincare and, you can’t really see it right now, but it’s like coming back. And I have literally no idea what to do about it.” King also wrote in the caption, “Any tips for the dermatitis would be greatly appreciated.”
