Former America’s Top Model winner Adrianne Curry — who was also featured in the reality show My Fair Brady, which was about her marriage to Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch — has deleted her Twitter account after Melanie Lynskey took issue with her body-shaming comments.

The skirmish began after this week’s episode of The Last of Us, which featured a Warlord-type character played by Lynskey. Curry tweeted that Lynskey didn’t have the typical body of a warlord and wondered why a Linda Hamilton-type wasn’t cast, instead. Lynskey basically told Curry to jump up her ass. “I’m playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA. I am supposed to be SMART, ma’am. I don’t need to be muscly. That’s what henchmen are for.”

Curry hit back with a lame tweet later about making fun of Jason Momoa in Aquaman but subsequently deleted her Twitter account. However, she used her Facebook page to accuse Lynskey of orchestrating a bullying campaign.

In criticism of a character I didn’t like in the last of us..the actress screen shotted it and posted it for her fans to BULLY me over an opinion on a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. LOL. Actors and actresses that cannot take criticism of characters they play Is absurd to me. I acted in a film that people tore my character to SHREDS. I am not the character. It wasn’t a direct attack. I survived. Anyway, I’m keeping off Twitter till her fans stop berating me for not finding her feminine stature suitable for warlord status.

OK, one: She was not criticizing the character, she was criticizing the body type of a character, a body type that Lynskey shares with the character. Publicly taking issue with a criticism of a body type is not absurd. And I’m sure that Curry’s character was “tore to shreds,” but I also suspect a lot of it had to do with Curry’s acting ability and the movies in which Curry appeared.

Finally, Lynskey stood up for herself. That’s it. There’s no crime in that, Twitter or otherwise. Lynskey would never intentionally orchestrate a bullying campaign, but you know who might? Lynskey’s character in The Last of Us, which is exactly how she got to be the bad-ass warlord she is, while the former model is playing victim and licking her wounds over on Facebook.
