The fourth episode of HBO’s, for the moment, magnificent ‘The Last of Us’, in addition to developing the relationship between Joel and Ellie with an intensity on a par with their digital counterparts, introduced us to a good handful of characters that will make things more difficult for our protagonists in the devastated Kansas quarantine zone.
Among them is Kathleenthe strong leader of the group of survivors who managed to seize control of the QZ after overthrowing Phaedra performed by Melanie Lynskey. Unfortunately, the internet has once again brought out its most despicable side after the winner of the first edition of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ has made body shaming to the Emmy nominee for his work on ‘Yellowjackets’.
The importance of gray matter
On her Twitter account, Adrianne Curry replied to a message in which an image of Lynskey unrelated to ‘The Last of Us’ was shared with a clearly unfortunate message —and with certain problems regarding capital letters and punctuation marks.
“Her body says life of luxury…no post-apocalyptic warlord. where’s pretty hamilton when you need her? (sic).”
The reaction of the actress was not long in coming, and she managed to capture the now extinct tweet for answer with some common sense.
“For starters, this is a photo from my InStyle magazine cover shoot, not a picture from HBO’s ‘The Last of Us.’ And I’m playing a person who meticulously planned and executed the overthrow of Phaedra. that I must be SMART, ma’am. I don’t need to be muscular. That’s what henchmen are for.”
Firstly- this is a photo from my cover shoot for InStyle magazine, not a still from HBO’s The Last Of Us. And I’m playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA. I am supposed to be SMART, ma’am. I don’t need to be muscular. That’s what henchmen are for pic.twitter.com/YwkmkwUdOm

Lynskey, in another independent thread, did not hesitate to praise the Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann show and claimed the figure of Kathleen in the production.
“What excited me most about doing ‘The Last of Us’ is that my casting suggested the possibility of a future where people start to listen to the person with the best ideas. The organizer. The person who knows where everything is. The person who makes the plans The person who can multitask The one who is decisive.
I understand some people get upset that I’m not the typical choice for the role. That excites me. Aside from the moments afterward after action is shouted, when you feel like you’re actually in someone else’s body, the most exciting part of my job is subverting expectations.”
After review, Curry was left wanting more and he used his arguments again on the platform of Elon Musk.
“I said she was too suave, too short and voluptuous for me to believe her as a warlord over male warriors in a pack of feral humans during an apocalyptic societal collapse. I said similar things about CAROL on The Walking Dead already nobody cared then.”
to the cry
Adrianne Curry fat shames Melanie Lynskey, and because the victim of her fat shaming responded publicly, Adrianne is claiming that she’s being bullied because the person she targeted “can’t take criticism”.

The thing did not end here. After the clear blunder and receiving not a few criticisms from the Twitter community, the model decided to delete his account from the social network and go to Facebook to leave a message adopting the position of victim of cyber bullying.
“After criticizing a character I didn’t like in the last of us…the actress took a screenshot and posted it so her fans HARASSED me for having an opinion on a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. LOL.
Actors and actresses who can’t take criticism for the characters they play It’s absurd to me. I acted in a movie and people ripped my character apart and ripped him to SHATTERS. I’m not the character. It was not a direct attack. I survived.
Anyway, I’m going to be off Twitter until his fans stop bawling me out for not finding his feminine stature fit for the position of warlord. She even clipped the tweet praising her hourglass shape as the PERFECT body in most men’s eyes.
I think I’ll keep my movie/series NERD reviews to myself. These people take it very personally.”
Another day on the internet…
