Success has drawbacks. Yellowjackets star Melanie Lynskey should be celebrating a wildly well-received first season of a new hit TV show, but instead, she’s dealt with increased body-shaming as more people watch her work.
The Sweet Home Alabama actress, 44, retweeted writer Ashley C. Ford, who wrote about people being “confused” that she was “not thin and also not trying to lose weight.” Lynskey could relate all too well.
“The story of my life since Yellowjackets premiered,” the New Zealand native shared while quoting the tweet on Friday, January 28. “Most egregious are the ‘I care about her health!!’ people.”
Lynskey added that the people giving commentary have no idea how healthy she is or isn’t. “Bitch you don’t see me on my Peleton! You don’t see me running through the park with my child,” the Two and a Half Men alum said via Twitter. “Skinny does not always equal healthy.”
She shares a daughter, born in December 2018, with husband Jason Ritter.
The A Million Little Things actor, 41, amplified his wife’s message, retweeting and adding, “If anyone has any further unsolicited comments about *anybody* else’s body, they can feel free to write them in permanent ink onto their own foreheads and swan dive directly into the sun.”
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Donna Lynne Champlin also shared her support, noting that she’d faced similar body policing.
“Been there, momma,” Champlin replied via Twitter. “You owe no one a goddam thing but a brilliant performance which you are turning out in SPADES. Keep being f–king gorgeous and talented and know you’ve got fans out here who think you are a beautiful queen and a magnificent actress.”

I’ve gotten so many messages from women who feel very represented and seen by things they’ve seen or just by seeing my body onscreen,” Lynskey, who plays an adult version of Shauna, tells ET about connecting with fans on Twitter. “And that’s so beautiful.

Melanie Lynskey's husband, Jason Ritter, has joined the chat on fighting body shaming — and his words are biting. The actress, who is at the center of one of TV's must-watch new series, , has shined a light on the body shaming she has been facing as she stars on the hit show. In January, she revealed in a interview that even a member of the show's production told her, «I’m sure the producers will get you a trainer.» The person's comments spurred Lynskey's co-star, Juliette Lewis, to write a letter to the producers. While social media can be a double-edged sword — often providing a platform for trolls to criticize her -- it's offered Lynskey another medium to speak out against the very comments targeting her.
