Since the release of the hit Showtime series, Yellowjackets, Melanie Lynskey has had more eyes on her than ever, and with that has come unsolicited comments and criticism on her appearance. However, it has also come with a ton of uplifting messages of encouragement from fans who think she's a perfect fit for the role and has portrayed her character perfectly.
Melanie recently thanked fans for their "beautiful" messages.
And rightfully so. It's dark and eerie, but still the very definition of binge-worthy, as long as you aren't too squeamish.
Shauna is one of the show's main characters, and she has done an amazing job of portraying the character.
In February, the actress took to Twitter to address the trolls. "The story of my life since Yellowjackets premiered," she wrote.
"Most egregious are the 'I care about her health!' people," she tweeted.
“I was looking on Reddit and reading stuff. And, I just can’t. It makes me crazy."
"It’s like an alcoholic hitting rock bottom. But, you know, I was reading all these [comments] like, ‘Who is he?’” she continued, on her love interest in the show.
“And I was like, ‘Wow, it’s so funny to me that nobody’s really thinking he could just be a thing. That he could just be into her.’”
"... You don't see me on my Peloton? You don't see me running through the park with my child?" she tweeted, adding that weight is not always a reflection of health. "Skinny does not always equal healthy."
"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," he tweeted. "And swan dive directly into the sun."
While recently speaking with ET, she showed her appreciation to those that have been showing love.
“I really appreciate people reaching out to me," she said.
“And that’s so beautiful. I wish I could reply to everybody.”
