Melanie Lynskey 'Bursting With Joy' After Fans Slam 'Misogynistic' Troll

‘The Last of Us’ star Melanie Lynskey praised her fans for taking to task a mean-spirited comment on social media

The Last of Us star found herself the subject of an online troll who questioned Lynskey’s credibility portraying the character of Kathleen Coghlan, a revolutionary leader in a post-apocalyptic American society, on the HBO series. “American culture has indoctrinated us into thinking you don’t need leadership traits, character, or skills to be an actual leader,” the poster wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Sunday. Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter’s love story closely resembles a Hollywood romance — complete with a workplace meet-cute that led to their happily ever after.
