\u201cYou\u2026 you could have just\u2026 not tweeted it. But you did, and people are upset with what you said. Whatever happens now, DO NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! Dig your heels in deeper, and double down! BECOME the victim! You can do this!! I believe in you!!\u201d

\u201cFirstly- this is a photo from my cover shoot for InStyle magazine, not a still from HBO\u2019s The Last Of Us. And I\u2019m playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA. I am supposed to be SMART, ma\u2019am. I don\u2019t need to be muscly. That\u2019s what henchmen are for\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey My dearest Melanie I do not understand these people . You are brilliant . Always . Ignore the uninformed chatter and silliness and keep being the incomparable you we all admire and love . Xjed\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey THATS WHAT HENCHMEN ARE FOR.\n\nMOTHER HAS SPOKEN!\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey Wow, that was embarrassing for her even BEFORE you responded. \n\nYou look glamorous and perfect. \u2728\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey 10/10 would follow into battle, the sea, the sun.\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey Jesus Christ, why on earth did she feel like that needed to be said? I can\u2019t\u201d

— Melanie Lynskey (@Melanie Lynskey) 1675884078

\u201c@melanielynskey You are a national treasure, I\u2019d follow you to the end of the earth! No apocalypse needed!\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey That's what @pierce_jeffrey is for! You both were fantastic in ep 4.\u201d

\u201c@melanielynskey What a weird and misogynistic comment.\u201d

\u201cNot the coolest or the toughest person. The organiser. The person who knows where everything is. The person who is doing the planning. The person who can multitask. The one who\u2019s decisive\u201d

\u201cWomen, and especially women in leadership positions, are scrutinized incessantly. Her voice is too shrill. Her voice is too quiet. She pays too much attention to how she looks. She doesn\u2019t pay enough attention to how she looks. She\u2019s too angry. She\u2019s not angry enough\u201d

— Melanie Lynskey (@Melanie Lynskey) 1675886234

\u201cI understand that some people are mad that I\u2019m not the typical casting for this role. That\u2019s thrilling to me. Other than the moments after action is called, when you feel like you\u2019re actually in someone else\u2019s body, the most exciting part of my job is subverting expectations\u201d

— Melanie Lynskey (@Melanie Lynskey) 1675886234

\u201cAnd I\u2019m also grateful because the love and support I receive from you all is so overwhelming and powerful- I feel like we are a community and I feel very seen and loved. Ok rant over and thank you all so very much \ud83d\udc97\u201d
