Adrianne Curry, the winner of the first season of America’s Next Top Model, recently caused a stir on social media after she shamed Melanie Lynskey, star of the popular video game The Last of Us.
In a since-deleted tweet, Curry criticized Lynskey’s performance in a recent magazine cover shoot, claiming her body didn’t match the character she portrayed in the video game.
“Her body says life of luxury… not post apocalyptic [sic] warlord. Where is Linda Hamilton when you need her?” Curry wrote in a tweet shared by Lynskey through a screenshot.
Curry’s tweet was quickly addressed by Lynskey, who portrays a brutal survivor in The Last of Us, who pointed out that the image in question was taken for an InStyle magazine cover shoot and was not representative of the post-apocalyptic setting of the game.
She also called out Curry for a lack of understanding and empathy for people who may be struggling with body image issues.
“I’m playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA,” Lynskey wrote, pointing to the name of the military government influencing the United States twenty years after the fungus rebellion.
“I am supposed to be SMART, ma’am. I don’t need to be muscly. That’s what henchmen are for.”
Leaving Twitter for Awhile
Curry took to her Facebook account to explain her decision to leave Twitter.
“Actors and actresses that cannot take criticism of characters they play is absurd to me. I acted in a film that people tore my character to SHREDS. I am not the character. It wasn’t a direct attack. I survived,” she said.
She mentioned that although she is not the character in the movies in which she has acted, her character has received criticism. Curry also lashed out at Lynskey for sharing a screenshot of her remarks with her followers, which sparked bullying and harassment.
Curry stated that she will not be returning to Twitter until Lynskey’s fans stop harassing her for her opinion on a fictional character. She emphasized that her comments were not personal and were simply a criticism of a character in a movie or show.
“Now, I think I’ll keep my NERD movie/show criticism to myself. These people take it too personally.”
