Melanie Lynskey Addresses Questions About Being Body Shamed on Set of 'Yellowjackets,' Reveals What She'd Rather Talk About in Interviews

Melanie Lynskey would really like to stop being asked about being body shamed on the set of Yellowjackets.

The 45-year-old actress revealed that someone involved with the show suggested she lose weight before filming in January 2022.

Over a year later, people are still asking about it, and she’d really prefer that they ask about anything else.

“I’m tired of it. I wish I could just talk about my acting. Or even, I dunno, my husband or what cereal I like,” Melanie told TheWrap at the show’s premiere. “It’s a bit exhausting to have to keep saying, ‘Yes, it’s my body…’”

Melanie described the questions as “a very particular obsession.”

“I think it’s also an American obsession. I do media in other countries and I don’t get asked about it, if I’m being honest. It is what it is. I guess I’ll keep talking about it until I don’t have to,” she continued.

This isn’t the first time Melanie has revealed that she was body shamed on set.
