Melanie Lynskey is opening up about a horrible experience that happened behind the scenes of Yellowjackets. In the hit new Showtime series, the Three and a Half Men alum plays one of a handful of women who survived a horrific plane crash — and mysterious aftermath — during a high school soccer trip in the ’90s.
Unfortunately amid all the surprising twists, Melanie made one revelation that is unfortunately not too shocking at all. According to the actress, a member of the series’ production team body-shamed her during filming! Luckily her co-stars were IRL teammates as they stood up for her against the hate!
While speaking to Rolling Stone on Saturday, the Heavenly Creatures star recalled a time when a production company employee criticized her weight, saying:
Ugh! What an awful thing to say! As if her body type were some kind of problem that needed fixing! Thankfully, Melanie wasn’t left to deal with the comment alone.

Her co-stars Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis (inset) heard about the incident and stuck up for her. Juliette even went so far as to write a letter to all the Yellowjackets producers on Lynskey’s behalf. Amazing! While it’s unclear if any changes were made behind the scenes, it’s obvious the support from her fellow actresses meant a great deal to her. The 44-year-old told the outlet that she has struggled with low confidence and disordered eating in her past, making that comment sting even more, so having people defend her against unwanted critique was helpful.
Sadly, just because her co-stars rallied behind her, not all fans of the Showtime hit have been as supportive! According to the

Take that! Jason Ritter stood up for his partner, Melanie Lynskey, as she continues to face negative comments about her weight from social media trolls.
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.
Jason Ritter has a message for anyone who dares to comment on his wife, Melanie Lynskey’s, body. “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,” he wrote on Twitter. Jason’s tweet was a reply to one of Melanie’s tweets, where she directly responded to a body-shamer, whose message has now been deleted.
