\u201cYellowjackets\u201d star Melanie Lynskey candidly recalled the body-shaming she and other actresses faced while filming the 2000 movie \u201cCoyote Ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the girls had this regimen they had to go on. It was ridiculous,\u201d the actress told The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cI was already starving myself and as thin as I could possibly be for this body, and I was still a [size] four.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lynskey, now 45, played Gloria, a woman who was the best friend of actress Piper Perabo’s character, Violet, in the movie. The \u201cDon’t Look Up\u201d actress said she faced harsh criticism from the flick’s original costume designer, makeup artist and more while she was filming. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere 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,’\u201d Lynskey continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cReally 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. You’re not beautiful.’\u201d<\/p>\n
