Bridgerton’s Ruby Barker Slams Netflix After Suffering Psychotic Breaks | E! News
/ enews - Розваги
The headline made it sound like she went into a psychotic break WHILE filming and no one helped. Watched the interview and it turns out she had it after she finished shooting. You can hardly accuse your employers and colleagues of lack of support that way because they don't know what's going on in your life.
This is crazy because her character in the book died of pneumonia because she tried to commit suicide by drowning herself in a cold lake. 😐
I guess it’s more about how we all know sudden public recognition and being public facing from being on these shows/working on these networks are inherently difficult experiences to navigate.
Maybe she wants like…therapists on set and wellness checks for actors after experiencing all this high surveillance in their lives. The fat cats on top benefit the most from these shows and get to keep a level of anonymity, meanwhile these actors are at the front of the march being abused or being harassed by viewers.
Some are more strong and stoic about it, but many are high functioning and more sensitive and likely to receive lasting harm.
This is an adult woman struggling with the exposure, now look over at these Netflix child stars getting churned out. Their lives are changed overnight and I’m sure their family has cushion and aid for them, but many kids need their workplace (the fact they’re working is already such an issues) needs to feel like a safe support system.
I think this is not just reserved to entertainment. Every industry should value their workforce and support them. But we are all so cold hearted and just replace those that struggle.
I would be mortified if my ex-employer reached out to me after a hospitalization.. like how did you know?? Are you stalking me on Facebook??? Delulu 😂
@@Mrsamj1989I was thinking of that the other day. 😐 I hope Ruby seeks the help she needs and gets better.
@eps3154 Girl yes. And embarrassed.
I sorry for what she went through but I don’t understand why Netflix or Shondaland were supposed to check up on her after she worked for them.
I dont think it's a "supossed to" but from one human to the other, you'd naturally feel it would be nice if they did. They don't owe it to her but since they worked together it would be nice.
And obviously, it would be nice if she didn't go on E Online inappropriately blaming Netflix and Shondaland for her psychotic breaks. She obviously has a serious diagnosis because she spent a year in the hospital to treat those psychotic breaks. I feel sorry for her, but trashing them on TV is not appropriate
This was my thought too. Exactly.
@@pinknotebookI mean netflix or the director of the show doesn’t have time cuz they have delayed this 3rd season cuz of the writers strike already. And secondly its expecting too much from your former boss you know? Like normally after you are finished with a job you are done with the company thus they aren’t gonna reach out to you unless you were like dieheart bestfriends with your pervious boss🤷♀️ I think this actress is just suffering from paranoia cuz one of the common symptoms for psychotic breakdowns is paranoia since they tend to overthink on what others are thinking🤷♀️ in her case, she is overthinking her relationship with Netflix and the director of the Bridgeton 🤷♀️ or it could just be another stunt to make the show relevant again, cuz it has been 2 years since a season has come out so it wouldn’t hurt to have a controversy like this
@@pinknotebook
i thinking this is what she's thinking also
I am always in support of mental health but the victim mentality has to stop.
Isn’t that kinda like saying to a paralytic ‘ok you’ve been unable to walk for years and now it’s time for you to start walking again. Which is ridiculous because it’s t does not work like this.
@@ReusableEssentials Not really. There's a difference between someone going through psychotic breaks, and someone torching their boss for not ''asking how they are'' in an interview. Her behavior makes it seem like netflix caused her psychotic breaks and she's the victim in the scenario.
She's just another toxic egoistic shallow celebrity. Nothing special here really.
@ReusableEssentials Not quite... it's more like the paralytic implying that their former boss is the reason they are paralyzed. She's heavily suggesting that the show and the people she worked for/with caused her break.
@@nicoleallen2058 If the working condition were this bad to the point where they'd cause someone psychotic breaks then more than one actor would've suffered something similar. Or at least spoke up about it. She's clearly just toxic about not being on the show anymore.
Oh and if it was that bad why comeback for the 2nd season? Don't defend such people, you're better off defending people who are actually suffering and not doing interviews crying about their Hollywood ''sad' life.
@nobu3358 We actually agree. I was responding to Reusable, who made the paralytic comparison. (Implying that it's impossible for someone with such extreme emotional issues to not have a breakdown) as if it's okay for her to then imply that Netflix CAUSED her breakdown. Of course, it's okay to have the opinion that what she's saying about Netflix is grasping and awful. It's NOT at all like telling a paralytic to get up and walk. No one is saying she shouldn't have had a mental break. They're saying she shouldn't be blaming the show.
THEY ARE YOUR CO-WORKERS, NOT FRIENDS - COWORKERS ARE NOT FRIENDS, THEY OWE YOU NOTHING
What does the show have to do with her mental health? Unless her work conditions were responsible for it, I don't see how they're in any way to blame. Would it have been nice of them to check up on her? Yes. Would I have? Yes, but that's me. Were they obligated to? No.
Did you watch the whole video? because she does say the intensity of her character on the show contributed to the breakdown from min 0.55, and her first breakdown happened a week after they wrapped shooting her first season.
@gracemunyi4662 Yes I did & my statement/opinion hasn't changed. Please find another stranger whose opinion shouldn't matter to you to argue with. I'm responding only to correct your erroneous assumption, but won't be responding again...
Lol. You consider this arguing? Chill girl. 😂😂😂
@@gracemunyi4662yes, you are indeed arguing against the other persons point, maybe you need to look in a dictionary?
Most actors have agents. They are essentially independent contractors. They aren’t employees of these companies. It doesn’t work like the old studio system so why should they be specifically focused on keeping up with her after she completed her contract or for that matter even during it? Her expectations are absurd and may be a reflection of her unstable mental health.
Ruby as an adult woman, if you are feeling challenged mentally, it’s your responsibility to talk to someone you trust. Did you discuss this matter with Netflix, Shondaland or a Therapist? I’m sure filming in a big production like Bridgerton came with stress but it is not your employers job to keep tabs on your mental health. Again, that is your responsibility. Understand the signs in your mind and body when you are not doing well and reach out to your support system. Another thing to consider - publicly blaming your mental health on two of the biggest entertainment industry leaders may impact your acting career. Consider clarifying that statement. You deserve support and I hope you are seeking it.
Her career is over, she's really unwell.
She's definitely blackballed now. Nobody is going to want to work with someone who blames them for her mental trauma.
Beautifully said.
Totally agree. I hope you do well in Your recovery journey
You are right. I hear she is doing Only Fans. If she was in bad mental shape working on a major project like Bridgerton, you can only imagine what state she’ll be in after doing that.
Netflix and Shondaland are her employers not her parents. What is it with people? If acting causes mental breaks for her maybe she shouldn’t be in that line of work.
Yes, and I'll add that acting didn't cause her to have psychotic breaks
mmmm i dont really like that response. i think that we should not see things that way because we should care about all workers and every suggestion should be considered for growth. Imagine saying that to cops. Not everyone is made for every field but we should still prioritize mental health in all fields. Well being of our workers. Community.
@@BadActingWYIM if a company provides you with Healthcare or the means to receive Healthcare they have done their job. I rather they focus on my pay which has a great influence on EVERYONE'S mental health.
Absolutely.
Shondaland is a company, Netflix is a company - they don't owe you anything other than fair pay and a reasonably safe work environment. The expectation that your employer needs to reach out proactively and offer support is ridiculous, and the role frankly wasn't challenging enough that they should (it's not like she was Joaquin Phoenix playing the Joker).
If she can't handle playing a side character or the ramifications of being the 1% of actors that becomes rich and successful, why is she in this profession?
While I believe employers overall should care about their employees’ wellbeing, I’m not understanding how playing the character she played led to a psychotic break. That seems extreme to me, based on the fact that she was a secondary character, meaning she didn’t have a lot of scenes, and though her storyline was sad, it was hardly the most challenging role anyone has ever played.
I am all for protecting your mental health, and I’m not trying to downplay her struggles. If Netflix knew she’d had the break, then they shouldn’t have expected her to do promo. And also, if she’s having psychotic breaks after playing just that character, she should probably reconsider her profession. There are way darker and more complex characters that require far more mental energy, focus, and protection than Marina Thompson of Bridgerton.
Beautifully said
If she used the books to prepare for the role it could influenced her. Its a significantly darker role than in the series. Marina is descriped as a very depressed character who dies due to a suicide attempt. If you put yourself in such a role and your predisposed...
This might not turn out well for her. Producers might be reluctant to hire her.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I would! Can't take a secondary character with not that challenging a dark path
Bashes former employers for not checking up on her like they're her parents?! I've never had that happen to me and I have plenty of health issues, idk why she gets to be special
I was thinking the same thing 😢
And I really liked her & her character ☹️
Ma'am take accountability. Get a job that doesn't interfere with your mental health. It is not their responsibility to mentally support you.
Ma’am 😅
Harsh but true. It's Hollywood mental health during a series is the fast track making it difficult to gets jobs and now that she called out Netflix and Shanda she just fast tracked herself into being blacklisted.
A psychologist would be a good choice, to learn and heal. I mean, why waiting for someone to recommend that? Nobody is responsible for you. But I hope she's ok now.
She seems to speak as if she's had a close relationship with Shonda and people working at Netflix, I think thats why she speaks of it as if she expected help.
@@marias.wainwright3481yeah. I actually disagree with the other people saying that it’s not a company’s responsibility to support their worker’s mental health. Especially if the particular work load or hours are the reason said person’s mental health is suffering in the first place.
It’s not just in the context of actors and the film industry, but in general. If a particular employee is more vulnerable or they have a particular workload that’s different from their peers, I should think the company has the obligation to make sure everyone is healthy after the end result.
I can think of an anecdote of people just working customer service, for example. If the coworkers are full timers and neglect their hours and play about in the back of the store meanwhile the part timers are taken advantage of or given more emotional Labour from bad customers, then it’s going to result in the part timer breaking down. If they purposely don’t hire more part timers so they’re understaffed and there’s only one person on the floor then it’s abusing the part timer. As long as money is made at their expense, companies don’t care.
While this anecdote doesn’t conflate entirely here, this woman had an entirely different experience on and off set vs her peers. Different prep, a bleaker character and becoming known to the public is pretty traumatizing and no one can really prepare for that overnight.
She was not supported in that difficult position.
If we only had the problems some Celebs have . Let her work at a regular job and see if she gets a call from her Employer to check on how she is doing . At least she can afford a good Psychiatrist and not worry about going broke over the cost of it .
I feel so bad for her mental health, but then why did she go back as a guest for season 2?
Sadly, her psychological issues were present before she started filming. She should have been more honest with herself if she wasn’t able to handle the spotlight and workload in tandem with her personal life and traumas. Her mental health is her sole responsibility. Hopefully in the future she will be more aware of her needs. Turning down the role would have been the best decision however it is not the producer’s responsibility to ensure her mental health AFTER filming has wrapped. Unfortunately this may lead to her being labeled as “difficult to work with” in Hollywood.
I'm just confused. I mean yes, that sounds like a horrible situation to be in mentally, I'm not downplaying that. Buuuuuut, why exactly do you think your employer is somehow obligated to check up on you? I agree, it would have been nice for them to drop you a line, but they are your EMPLOYER not your mom or your friend. Keeping a working relationship separate from personal relationships is what is supposed to happen. Perhaps they even thought checking up on you would be an invasion of your privacy and would maybe cross a line, how could they know you would be so open about it later??
The company calling to see how she feels? She’s really expecting this? Like having the state calling me and check on me
Srsly that'd be crazy if s job called me
Not the state lol 😂
Sounds exactly like something Marina would do
WTH?! The neverending blame game 🙄🙄
Always the victim mentality.
She was adopted after going through the foster care system so she’s probably suffering from PTSD. Acting is probably not the right career choice. Hope she gets the help she needs.
Good observations. Playing that character probably hit too close to home
I think so too.
A lot of actors have experienced unstable childhoods. I don't know if we can assume PTSD is to blame. A lot of psychosis is genetically predetermined and can be triggered by any stressful situation
Almost all people who suffer psychotic illnesses have experienced severe childhood trauma. Many of them have a dual diagnosis of PTSD.
@@a-ms9760The genetic link is unproven. Psychotic illnesses do tend to run in families, but so does intergenerational abuse. The strong link to trauma has been proven repeatedly.
It would have been NICE and the civilized thing if someone from Netflix and/or Shodaland had reached out to her while she had these mental health issues, but they weren’t obligated to. That’s very private life, she’s an adult and she has to manage herself like we all do. In the end, she was just an actress they hired.
What gets me is I've read many interviews where it stated each actor/actress was required to read the books their characters were in before even doing the part. She had to have known what she was getting into before doing the show. She had to have known before hand that her character had mental issues as well. It just is not adding up. She was hardly shown on the show enough to make mental breakdowns.
Maybe she was upset she didn't have a bigger role. Womp womp.
that is what I was wondering. She ended up being just a throwaway character. @@alissathesinger
She had a way bigger role in the show than her character in the books. Nobody in the books really knows what was wrong with her because it’s 1800s. And she’s just sad and non-responsive Fans have theory that she had some kind of hormonal imbalance or postpartum depression. That was causing her mental illness. Her whole story in the books is that she’s miserable and disengaged. Then one day she drowned herself in the pond in their front yard. Traumatizing, her husband and her kids for life.
So she had a hard time playing a difficult character that had lots of admirer complimenting her beauty? I mean Penelope character is practically bullied by everyone and called ugly and she's still thriving. Weird.
I don’t recall my former employer being obligated to assist me in my mental health support.
mine offered to be involved. they NEED the person, especially if they want her to commit to 6-12 months of promo
She said her character was isolated, but she's literally surrounded by the Featheringtons and the Bridgertons and attends numerous balls. Maybe it's her character she didn't like and the storyline
I was really looking forward to seeing her in Penelope and Collin and Eloise and Sir Phillip’s stories. I’m sorry but I don’t think Netflix and Shondaland had any business intervening in her mental health care. She should surround herself with good and supportive friends and family.
She tries to commit suicide????
Maybe being an actor isn't in your best interest, take some responsibility for your own mental health, if acting and the demands of a hit show isn't what you can handle yourself, maybe take a positive move a do something that you can handle mentally, this is your responsibility not netflix or shondalands.
Thank you. I came here to say the same thing but you said it perfect
I’m interested to know if you would have made this comment if she was suffering/recovering for cancer and struggled with the demands of promoting a show. Would your advice be to consider a WHOLE NEW career path because she fell ill?
Her gripe appears to be that allowances weren’t made when she fell ill and that her employer didn’t check on her well-being. That’s a legitimate gripe in my opinion.
@codedee if you work at Walmart or cvs and you have mental health issue. Does corporate called to check on you?
@@fakedazzleful yes. My employer enquirers about my well-being. They essentially want to know if I’m fit to work. It’s common practice.
@codedee She said she first had a psychotic breakdown AFTER she finished working for the show, not during.
I don't know why she thinks past employers should monitor and inquire about a health condition that they knew nothing about and weren't responsible for.
Is she accusing the role? She agreed to play a role, signed a contract for and read the script - that role caused a mental health breakdown? I mean, doesn’t that come with the job? You take a role that has a challenging position as she described- You’re going to feel it as an actor. You should have tools to help you manage your feelings when you leave the set.
Girl that’s personal what !!!!! Your character is a character
Most people would be happy for their ex employers NOT to contact them especially when mentally unstable. Its none of the employers or ex employers business.
You can not blame a show for something you were already struggling with, no one else from the cast has said anything bad about the company and if Ruby had a psychotic breakdown then that's a red flag to me that she's probably prone to neuroticism and paranoia and believing things about people or sitations that are not real. I know this because a family member was diagnosed with psychotic depression and sent to a psychiatric ward for 6 months. This relative thought people were out to get her, that people were gossiping about her and plotting things when that wasn't a reality. If Ruby claims it was a tormenting place to be, then leave. Your boss or the company can only support you so far when they have other people to also care for and carry on with the project, they are not there to parent your unstable emotions that could be causing disruption and distress to others.
To be honest, I felt her character in the show was the most annoying and vapid, not because I think she isn't a good actress, but it felt like Ruby didn't really want to be there which made her character feel sulky, sour and petulant. She wasn't really playing Marina, she was just playing herself. As an adult, it is entitled and selfish to expect an entire company to pander to you. She knew what she was struggling with before the show, so it was her (and her loved ones) responsibility to get help in preparation and also work WITH the company to communicate everything with clarity. After watching this, she just seems like a difficult person to work with.
Seems like she should choose another profession, actress might be too stressful for her.
She was not hired for reality about her life, she was hired for an acting gig. Should every production company be expected to reach out to every single actor, extra, production crew etc. after a big production and ask if they are ok? If you need help, reach out and I'm sure they provide it.
The irony is that stress or not acting is easily the least amount of work she will ever do in her life for a given monetary return.
Most people would kill for her chances, and all she is doing is standing around b1tching about it.
Girl, you were in a handful of episodes. Calm down!
She wasn't even in it that much. It's not anyone's fault. You need to take accountability for yourself. She sounds jealous that she didn't get a bigger role.
Bingo.
Before she said thank you to Netflix and shondaland. Now she blames them? And now she’s on OnlyFans doing god knows what
I'm sorry to hear you struggled with being treated similarly to the role you played at such a young age. It's great to hear you didn't hesitate to get yourself assistance. Good for you. You may often find a lack of support versus what your ideal support would look like. This is the challenging part of adulting. Taking time to understand who you are, what you are experiencing and what you think. You then want to accept accountability for any part you may have played (choices made/not made). Ask your team (agent, manager, family) for the support you need. Continue to work to move forward. Life is worth it. Learning the difference between what is work and what is your real life is a life lesson many of us have to learn.
No one wants to carry the news that you are suffering in playing your role. Everyone wants to be liked and invited to keep participating in Netflix and Shondaland projects. Hard lesson but true nonetheless. You are OK. Grow your tribe. Be positive regarding your work so you have future work. Choose projects that bring joy.
This was perfectly said !!
With all due respect, my current employer wouldn’t give two shits if I was unwell, why would an employer I don’t currently work for care?
Considering that you are an individual and therefore have value as well as an employee who offers their limited time on earth to your employer it seems like your employer _should_ give a couple shits about you feeling unwell, don't you think.
@@caleidozkopie8344 Should doesn't mean they will. it's unrealistic to expect that.
Eh. You have to have tough skin to be in Hollywood. It wasn't Shonda's or Netflix job to check in on Ruby, especially if Shonda and Ruby aren't close. It was business, "you do a job, i pay you for the job you've done". Nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps she had mental health issues before she joined.
I'm sorry she went through that, but how is it the fault of Netflix or Shonda Rhimes? Clearly she had issues before doing the show. She had the opportunity to say no, and not come back for a 2nd season.
I work in a call center. That job is definitely going to give me a psychotic break soon. But also being homeless will too so I have to choose one or the other
I'm sorry she went through this, but if you read the books---true to character 🤦🏽♀️ 👀
I hope she continues to get the care she needs. I understand she would hope that her employers will check up but it's her responsibility to take care of ones health and we'll being and many companies don't want to interfere at any point to eliminate the possibility of making things worse by adding stress. She could interpret the constant check up as them rushing her wellness or treatment.
Her character was perfect for her.
Iykyk
This must be their very first job because what on earth are they talking about they didn’t follow up
I had a anxiety and depression from working with a mentally abussive boss. I quit the company and moved. I still have PTSD everytime I'm about to present, but never once I blamed the company. I did report it to HR and they were reluctant to do anything because of hiring freeze (covid time). I had a binding contract and quit when part of the binding clause was up. The HR person though was very nice and supported me in any way he could. It made me feel slightly better. But after I left the company I never asked them to care. I only asked when I was still working for them. You are, at the end of the day, responsible for your own wellbeing. Why blame netflix and Shondaland for not supporting you when you can't cope with your fame? They are responsible for how you feel after they paid you and you left. Seek help, ask your manager and talk to the people around you.
Oh yes, all my former employees, managers and companies I worked at clearly contact me once a week to hear about my health and life 🙄🙄
It's not your company's job to inquire after your mental health. That's YOUR personal responsibility, to seek the medical assistance you need and take care of yourself. Netflix is not your nanny.
It's important to have your own support system in place. Remember this is your job. We cannot be babysat when we are working by our bosses. Perhaps she needs to apply the skills she learned while in the hospital. No one is responsible for your own mental health.
See unless the show itself, the working conditions or some trauma with cast and crew is responsible for her psychotic breaks then shes wrong. Im sure many of her colleagues didn't wish the intrude knowing what a serious ordeal a psychotic break is on a person. Unless their a very close friend, it makes perfect sense them giving her space and not intruding. Shondaland, netflix, cast and crew had they publically posted about showing support it would be inappropriate. Why would you want anyone youve worked with, even are friends with or family members to talk about something deeply personal and traumatic on a public platform?! I sympathise with her, mental health struggles are horrific but this feels like misdirected resentment. She should focus on herself, on her mental health and the people she loves and holds dear.
Why is it Netflix or Shondas
at fault....? Put me in a hit show... don't care what my character feels😮😮
I'm going to take everything she said here with a pinch of salt. I'm sorry she went through a horrible time, but there's no way you get admitted to the hospital one week after filming ends, and not ONE person from the entire production team reaches out to you, especially since she mentioned she had a lot of events lined up at the time. She had to be doing PR events with the cast and crew. She might have been experiencing paranoia at the time, and so it's understandable she experienced reality differently, but this is really unfair to the crew because interviews like this can seriously hurt their careers.
Its so weird to see people saying they're confused because she wasnt in the show that much...like the girl had a whole storyline. It sounds like this just wasnt the right role for her even though I thought she did awesome. & I do agree with maybe acting just isnt the right career for her because even if she were to have had a more beloved character role you just never know how the media will perceive you.
That's sad for her. I hope she remains well. Corporations are not warm and fuzzy, sadly.
Ok y'all don't understand, Season 1 filming had wrapped *one week* before her firsy psychotic break happened and then she was gaining publicity and was meant to promote the show for months. Doing press can be incredibly stressful under such circumstances and it is absolutely a part of the job. Then she came back for filming Season 2.
So, she was hardly "done working for them" and was not an "ex-employee". It is absolutely reasonable to think Shonaland would reach out to her when the incident happened between filming and press tour.
Such a heartbreaking situation, hope she feels better. ❤
Why should she think Netflix knows or cares what is going on in her life? This is not like the days of big studios. Each actor is essentially an independent contractor. If they had that power then the actor who played Simon would have been on the second season but he wasn’t because he is a free agent and for that matter so is she. The absurd belief that some of these people have….its ridiculous.
I get psychotic breaks watching anything netflix produces
Time for netflix to get a replacement.
shes not in season 3
It’s scary how she’s so much like her character in the books👀
I was thinking the same thing
If she was 17 I’d get it.
But you’re in your 20s, you’re able to help yourself.
I am reading all these comments and yes, all companies must assure psychological safety to provide a safe mental environment to their employees. She should also have parallel responsibility and yes it’s accountability on both sides of the party.
She had her mental break after shooting. Her team and agent are responsible for her. She needs to take accountability for her own mental health. Acting may not be for her.
What a ridiculous comment. She had mental break down after completing shooting.
Do you expect netflix to call her daily, after she left shooting to check on her?
How can ex employer can be responsible for that?
Netflix and shondaland are not obligated to reach out to you because you’re going through a hard time. It would’ve been nice but they are not obligated to step into your private life.
In my opinion she makes it sound like her character in bridgertoon caused her mental breakdown. Wow many actors and actresses have gone through worse character roles for films and they don't have breakdowns or blame anyone.
When I had my mental breakdown I didn't expect my employers to reach out to me
Yeah, I wouldn’t hire her for anything after hearing something like this. Her job is to act and they gave her a job. They are not required to check on what goes with her personally. Do we all need to expect our ex employers to baby us when we’re going through personal issues? Absolutely not.
Welp she wont be back... plus its not their duty to check on you your hired to act... id you jave personal issues dont take the job
Wow where art becomes reality, her character is as tormented in the story as she is in real life
I mean its nice when your employer does that but they are under no moral obligation to do that.
I think that it’s more about feeling supported. When the Emily in Paris actress (Ashley) got seriously ill and hospitalized there was an outpour of support both publicly and in a personal spheres by the cast and by Netflix, because it was a sudden physical illness and with mental illness people don’t get that same support. I think there’s something to be said for this. She was still under contract to do all the promotional appearances and interviews and they were going to bring her back for the second season. Human to human you don’t ignore a serious hospitalization of a cast member like that, you at least ask them how they’re doing and see if there’s some kind of support you can offer, normally a network has a psychologist on hand for the well-being of their staff and that would include cast and they would usually be available before, during and a bit after shooting and there would always be some kind of communication with the network during promo time & between seasons as well.
So it is a bit strange that when someone falls ill during promo time, which is still work for the show, nobody asks them how they’re doing and whether they need any support. I feel like it’s the taboo of it being mental illness instead of physical illness.
This is just my 2 cents of course.
„It‘s a tough job. It’s not for the weak. You can play a wallflower, but you can’t be a mimosa in real life.“ - Bette Davis
I guess, people with weak nerves, prone to psychosis and mental breakdowns, should look for another job.
She's not wrong if they knew she was having a hard time they should've looked out for her.
thats what friends and family for, not a big company you worked for.
What does the show and the producers have to do with her mental health? Where is her family and her support system. I think these people expect too much from their work place and big corporations. Ya it's sad she has mental health issues and she should get help but doesn't she have an agent who helps her there. I can't support blaming Netflix and Shondaland here
I think she believes she’s most special out of all the cast because imagine Netflix reaching out to every single member of this show. It would be a lot. Also how can the entire team at Netflix read her mind to know that she is struggling with something. The team was probably more focused on reaching out to the people who had to have several nude scenes. I wasn’t there but I think she just wanted some media attention for a quick buck
@@VerdianAuguste I think it's an age thing. It seem that young people like to think everyone is responsible for their mental health when in reality that is not true. People can be sympathetic if they know and can chose to reach out but that not a must. Even inside families they don't do that so why would a corporation do that. Her agent as they have contact, if at my work I was sick I expect it from my immediate supervisor. Why would Shondaland? Netflix is massive company. I often hear young people complaining that this didnt care and that didn't care, why. Why does anyone need to care.
@@pmd1933no, shes just entitled. A lot of us are young and we're aware that the world owes us nothing. Entitled people are just that. She could be 50 and still feel the same way. Youth is not a stick to beat people with.
@@Xar_ia not beating her with a stick. Most people I know do not expect their co worker or corporations to reach out to them if they are not well. This talk she has I find happen alot with Gen y, z. So
Difficult roles can strain mental health. Yes i do think a filming production should check in on the mental health of the people working for them. Yes it is part of the package and many actors speak about it.
You should really not be an actor.
Do something else that makes you happy
I wonder if this accusation of disinterest in her health by her employers is a continued symptom of her illness? She may have changed her stance after the interview if she found her mindset shifting with her health. It's difficult from just this one interview to know if this is her general personality or her illness talking.
Well I guess it won’t be too difficult of a decision to kill her character off for Eloise’s season 😂
Not all will understand or sympathize. Her experience is her experience and she would have felt some level of comfort if a hand of care was extended. Especially since it happened while working. That’s all she’s saying.
That’s what her friends and family are for. Her behavior was a problem for her employer. This snowflake just ended her career.
Shes jealous that her part wasn't bigger. She's acting like her character was alone with
no others in her scenes and like she was playing a torture victim onset. She literally got to wear pretty gowns all day on a beautiful set. Boohoo
Its all treating each other like its always just business and then people complain everyone is so individualistic. We each have our own experience and are responsible for ourselves yes, but we are also in it "here" together. Why not show a bit of kindness if you can 😊 👋🏼
@@luckyish888that’s because nobody wants to have real friends, everyone wants their workplace to take care of them instead of cultivating real personal relationships with people you’re not engaging in a monetary transaction with.
It is not their place to get into her mental health issues. It can be very dangerous to try to deal with it to a nonprofessional. It can cause more damage. It is much better to get the help she needs from her own therapist. I think the problem may have been that she seemed to blame the character she played for her breakdown not stating that it was because of her mental health probably her abandonment issues. I guess that’s why it is so hard for her that they didn’t reach out. Our minds can be dangerous so can acting if your nervous system is fragile. It takes a lot of work to bring it back to a stable state.
If you know what her character does in the book “to sir Philip, with love”, this is going to put quite a damper on the show. That might change the entire plot because of it, or they will need to recast it
She's method. Carried over what her character would do in the real world. Carried over Marina being selfish and annoying too.
I think she played her character so well in Bridgerton because she's very entitled and bratty in real life too. I could tell by her face.
Its sad what's happened to her, i almost cringed at her character getting mentioned in s3 cause id opened tiktok a minute before and this girl is literally in a pysch ward. Im sorry for whats happened to her truly, shes a good actor
Maybe acting isn't her forte if she can't remove herself from the characters in which she plays. Taking care of her mental health is more important.
It’s absolutely terrible what happen to her but at the end of the day it’s “show biz” it would be the same thing if I were to work at corporate job and I had to get a emergency surgery. I don’t expect the company to check up on me. Although, it would be nice if they did out of courtesy.
Expecting everyone to feel compassion for you is not the way to heal, girl. If you expect something from everyone, you are going to be disappointed. Yes, you need to have support system. But dont expect it from everyone. That expectation is NOT good for your mental health.
So she was perfect for her character… both self absorbed.
I was going to say she acts as if she had the psychological break while filming when it happened later on how were they sopposed to know any of that?
I can only imagine what a whirlwind her experience must have been. It sounds like she was not a part of bonding experiences the other castmates had with each other. It must feel strange to be the outsider of the show and be expected to fit in while doing interviews, especially with so many eyes watching after the success of the show. Hope she's in a better place now ❤
I wonder when self victimization will go out of style 🤔
She must not have a manager or agent because no way someone let her do this interview. Sweetie...your mental health issues are not your employer's responsibility. Especially when they didn't even cause them??? They're your employers, not your mother. Sigh
They don't owe you anything sweetheart ❤
Mental health breakdown is not a joke…some of the comments on here a unnecessary…show empathy for fellow human being..
People are missing that she was still working for them during this. She was still in the throws of a mental health crisis when she has to do the whole press junket for the show, and received no support. And both of the breaks were brought on by the filming of the show.
Then she shouldn't be acting and her employers are not responsible for her mental health.
Did she talk to them about it?
Sometimes when you are suffering, you think everyone is ostracizing you. Better check on yourself too. Stop victim mentality. She sounds so ungrateful
The thing is it has gotten difficult to establich community, not everyone has loving family or friends and it often can feel like sort of a temporary family at work, isolation and loneliness are a real thing and it is in these situations that people need people around to be present as much as possible. If you see someone drowning and you know how to swim you jump in hopes of helping. They saw her and did nothing, maybe assuming someone else would or could. Wish all the best in her path.
She’s still in character
Nothing new for Netflix and most employers especially in the entertainment industry. This is a great conversation that needs to be had.
Under the assumption that we are advocating for ourselves but also remembering many of us have been oppressed to the point that we don’t know how to do self advocacy.
When we normalize compassion and mental health in the public we can start to integrate this in everyday life too.
This interview makes me think she is still suffering from a mental breakdown and is sabotaging herself so that she can never work again because no company would want to hire an actor who trashes the production company. But then again she can do another interview and play the victim by saying she is being boycotted by the industry because of her mental breakdown. No sane company purposely hires unstable people.
I loved her character and the way she prayed it. It's a shame she'll probably never work again...
Praying for her mental health and peace. I always felt that going into different characters can affect mental health in some way
I feel she isn't telling the whole story, tormenting place sounds like she was going through some things on set. I wish her well. It's not easy to speak about this much less publicly. Her career could be at risk so she doesn't want to say more. Good luck to her.
