“Bridgerton” actress Ruby Barker is blaming Netflix and the Shondaland
production company for failing to follow up after two “psychotic breaks” she
said happened while filming the popular historical drama.
“Not a single person from Netflix, not a single person from Shondaland, since
I have had two psychotic breaks from that show, have even contacted me or
even emailed me to ask me if I’m okay or if I would benefit from any sort of
aftercare or support. Nobody,” the 26-year-old British star said during an
interview on Oxford University’s LOAF Podcast.
Barker portrayed Marina on “Bridgerton,” a Featherington cousin who gets
pregnant and becomes a social outcast. The actress said her character’s
unhappy situation negatively affected her mental health.
“During filming, I was deteriorating,” she said during the podcast interview.
“It was a really tormenting place for me to be because my character was very
alienated, very ostracized, on her own under these horrible circumstances.”
She continued, “When I went into hospital a week after shooting ‘Bridgerton’
Season 1, it was really covered up and kept on the down-low because the show
was going to be coming out. … In the run-up to the show coming out, I was
just coming out from hospital, my Instagram following was going up, I had all
these engagements to do.”
“My life was changing drastically overnight and yet there was still no
support and there still hasn’t been any support all that time. So I was
trying really, really hard to act like it was ok and that I could work and
that it wasn’t a problem,” Barker said.
The actress had previously mentioned having a difficult time while filming
the series, though, at the time, she had a favorable view of Netflix and
Shondaland founder Shonda Rhimes.
“I just want to be honest with everybody, I have been struggling,” she said
in a May 2022 Instagram video. “So, I’m in the hospital at the minute, I’m
gonna get discharged soon and hopefully get to continue with my life and I’m
gonna take a little bit of a break from myself.”
Barker described herself as “just rage-filled, frustrated, angry, you know,
all this intergeneration trauma bundled up inside me, and I was carrying the
weight of the world on my back.”
At the time, she specifically thanked Netflix, Rhimes, and Shondaland “for
saving me … and giving me an opportunity.”

Oh, dear god. Hayden Christianson's character had one arm and both legs
amputated and fell into a lava river before becoming Darth Vader, for
god's sake. You don't see him moping around and whining about it.

really are this stupid. So you think the two situations have the same
bearing on reality. Perfect.
