With its predominantly female cast and compelling exploration of the dark sides of womanhood, the series has been rightfully praised for its unique identity. But according to Lynskey, even the set of Yellowjackets wasn’t free from bigotry.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lynskey opened up about her experience working on Yellowjackets, and how a member of the production crew asked her how she planned to lose weight during filming.

“They were asking me, ‘What do you plan to do? I’m sure the producers will get you a trainer. They’d love to help you with this,’” Lynskey recalled of the comments about her body.
