Melanie Lynskey is fed up with the patriarchy and its impact on Hollywood and Mommyhood. The Emmy-nominated star talks candidly about her experience working on Yellowjackets after losing a pregnancy and three unsuccessful rounds of IVF.
On the heels of accepting her first Critics Choice Awards, Melanie reacts to the attention garnered after she thanked one of the most important people in her orbit – her nanny, Sally. She and Katie swap stories about their own battles with body shaming in the industry, and how they’re actively protecting their daughters from internalizing the same toxic messaging.
Melanie also opens up about her miscarriage, the emotional and physical toll it had on her, and why she felt it was important to speak up.
Plus, what was the thing that convinced Melanie that Jason Ritter was real dad material? Hit that play button!
