In a recent Twitter post, he defended his wife just two days after she posted a response to the body-shaming comments she&#8217;s been receiving since her hit Showtime series premiered in November 2021. <\/p>\n<p>Lynskey tweeted a response, &#8220;The story of my life since Yellowjackets premiered. Most egregious are the &#8216;I care about her health!!&#8217; people . . . b*tch you don&#8217;t see me on my Peloton! You don&#8217;t see me running through the park with my child.

In a &#8220;Rolling Stone&#8221; interview, she mentioned that aside from the usual internet trolls judging her, she even received criticism about her body from a member of the &#8220;Yellowjackets&#8221; production team. She said, &#8220;They were asking me, &#8216;What do you plan to do? I&#8217;m sure the producers will get you a trainer. They&#8217;d love to help you with this.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lynskey also opened up about body image and eating issues in a 2016 &#8220;People&#8221; interview. The article said she had &#8220;struggled with eating issues and deep unhappiness stemming from her &#8216;different shape.'&#8221; She added that she was very unwell for a long time; &#8220;I was losing my mind trying to conform to something that was not physically possible for me.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>After being so unhappy and dealing with her hair falling out, she knew she couldn&#8217;t continue like that. Making peace with how she looked, Lynskey shared, &#8220;I just need to look the way I&#8217;m supposed to look, and have faith that people are going to want to put someone in a film or on a show who looks like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Jason Ritter sent the message loud and clear not to mess with his wife, &#8220;Yellowjackets&#8221; star Melanie Lynskey.
