Melanie Lynskey

Melanie Lynskey talked with her fellow "Yellowjackets" co-stars about the body shaming she experienced while playing Gloria in the movie "Coyote Ugly."

Lynskey said that while she was working on the film, the feedback was constantly "you're not beautiful." When describing the beginning of her career playing the "best friend from Jersey" in "Ugly Coyote" she told the outlet. I'll talk about my experiences without including that," she concluded on Twitter.

Melanie Lynskey describes the harsh body-shaming she and her co-stars were under while filming "Coyote Ugly" in the year 2000.

“All the girls had this regimen they had to go on.” “Just the feedback was constantly like, ‘You’re not beautiful. “It was ridiculous.

Melanie Lynskey speaks about the pressure she faced to look a certain way in the 2000 flick "Coyote Ugly" in a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“Really intense feedback about my physicality, my body, people doing my makeup and being like, ‘I’m just going to help you out by giving you a bit more of a jawline and stuff.’ Just the feedback was constantly like, ‘You’re not beautiful. Lynskey goes on, “All the girls had this regimen they had to go on. “I think I just was like, ‘That’s what I am.’ My agents had all that kind of intensity around it, too.

"In your early 20s, so much of it is about beauty, and how people respond to you, and do people want to f--- you," says the "Yellowjackets" star.

"That representation is important." Lynskey said all of the women in the cast were on a strict regimen. But it wasn't just Lynskey, who played the classic "best friend" role, that was under that microscope.

The actor shared that she received negative comments about her physical appearance while filming the 2000 film in a new interview.

But that was a big one.” It took a while. “It was ridiculous,” Lynskey told the publication. In the interview, which she did alongside her Yellowjackets castmates, Lynskey says she was subjected to “really intense feedback about (her) physicality, (her) body,” and that she and fellow costar Christina Ricci had both been typecast as “character actors” and criticised the use of the word “quirky” to describe themselves. Do people think you’re their best friend? The actor added that make-up artists would say they were ‘helping’ her by contouring more of a jawline for her with products, adding: “Just the feedback was constantly like, “You’re not beautiful.

The actor says she received “really intense feedback about my physicality, my body” on the set of the 2000 film.

“It was really important to me for [Shauna] to not ever comment on my body, to not have me putting a dress on and being like: ‘I wish I looked a bit better,’” she said. Lynskey previously alleged that she was also subjected to criticism about her body while filming the now-acclaimed Showtime series. At the time, Lynskey said her co-stars stepped in to defend her, with Lewis reportedly writing a letter to the show’s producers on her behalf. She also clarified that her experiences with makeup artists offering to “help [her] face look better” did not happen on Coyote Ugly, but rather on other film sets. “That was already people putting a lot of Spanx on me in wardrobe fittings and being very disappointed when they saw me, the costume designer being like: ‘Nobody told me there would be girls like you.’” “All the girls had this regimen they had to go on.

"The feedback was constantly like, “You're not beautiful. You're not beautiful,'” the 'Yellowjackets' star revealed in a new interview.

Previously, Lynskey talked about how she faced a similar situation on Yellowjackets, but that was quickly rectified when she and her co-stars stood up to the producers. The interviewer talked to all the stars of Yellowjackets about their trials and tribulations throughout their Hollywood careers. Lynskey started to cry and went full mama bear when she answered “So much. At the beginning of production, I sent them all an email, and I just was like, “Whatever you need, if you need a voice, if you need someone to go to the producers for you, whatever you need,” and they were kind of like, “Cool. Thanks.” They’re fine.” Being the badass she is, Lynskey has not only repeatedly shed light on the unfair treatment, she even stood up to producers who have commented on her weight. All the girls had this regimen they had to go on.

While doing her makeup, people would say, "'I'm just going to help you out by giving you a bit more of a jawline and stuff.' Just the feedback was constantly like, 'You're not beautiful. "I thought you were supposed to have a gap between your thighs," she told Vulture. "I became obsessed with that."

"There were already people putting a lot of Spanx on me in wardrobe fittings and being very disappointed when they saw me, the costume designer being like, 'Nobody told me there would be girls like you,'" Lynskey told the magazine.
