"The Last of Us" star Melanie Lynskey is having none of it after she was body shamed by a former "America Next Top Model Winner.
Lynskey plays Kathleen on the hit show, the leader of a revolution against the military regime FEDRA.
For those unfamiliar with the show, it simply means she is a bad a$$ force not to be messed with.
She made her debut on the show last weekend, prompting former model and reality show star Adrianne Curry to tweet that the role wasn't right for the actor because of her body shape, saying, "her body says life of luxury…not a post-apocalyptic warlord. Where is Linda Hamilton when you need her?"
Lynskey was right on top of the top model, giving her a lesson in grit.
"Firstly- this is a photo from my cover shoot for InStyle magazine, not a still from HBO's The 'Last Of Us,' and I'm playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA.I am supposed to be SMART, ma'm, I don't need to be muscly. That's what henchmen are for."

The Twitter world went wild, including her henchmen co-star Jeffrey Pierce plays Perry on the show.
Curry later tried to step back from her comments by deleting her tweets, but this response was captured before claiming that Lynskey "cropped out what I said about her perfect hourglass frame being the most desirable to men," She also called her screenshot "manipulative."
