Ruby Barker is a 26-year-old British actress best known for her role as Marina Thompson in Shondaland\u2019s Bridgerton<\/em> series on Netflix. She\u2019s been working since her teens and had a big break in the British indie film scene with How to Stop a Recurring Dream<\/em>, which was released in 2020, the same year as Bridgerton<\/em>. Ruby has been candid about her mental health struggles, particularly a hospitalization last year, and is currently an ambassador for the organization Wellbeing in the Arts. She appeared on the LOAF Podcast<\/em> last weekend and revealed that she had another hospitalization back in 2019, right after filming ended for the first season of Bridgerton<\/em>. She also said that no one from Netflix or Shondaland reached out to her, for either hospital stay, or offered her support in handling the demands of promoting a massive hit. Here is what she had to say:<\/p>\n

\n

During the podcast, Ruby said that she suffered two psychotic breaks, including one shortly after filming wrapped in 2019 and another in 2022.<\/p>\n

She went on to say she received \u201cno support\u201d from Netflix amid her struggles, nor was there \u201caftercare\u201d even while dealing with sudden stardom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I went into hospital a week after shooting Bridgerton<\/em> Season One it was really covered up and kept on the down-low because the show was going to be coming out,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring filming I was deteriorating. 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,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot 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 if I\u2019m okay or if I would benefit from any sort of aftercare or support. Nobody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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,\u201d Ruby went on to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life was changing drastically overnight and yet there was still no support and there still hasn\u2019t been any support all that time. So I was trying really really hard to act like it was okay and that I could work and that it wasn\u2019t a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost like I had this metaphorical invisible gun to my head to sell this show because this show is bubbly and fun. I don\u2019t wanna come out and poo-poo on that because then I might never work again!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From JustJared]<\/p>\n

I listened to the podcast and it’s unclear what happened exactly – which is her prerogative. It’s hard to know what kind of support the producers could have provided her and to what extent they were aware of her struggles. I fully support her investing in her mental health. In my mid-twenties I picked up my life and moved back home (which was cross country) because something was fundamentally wrong in my psyche. I knew enough to recognize that I was a shadow of myself, and with the support of my family I was able to find people to speak with and activities to engage in that allowed me to find a way back to myself. Good for Ruby for getting the help she needed and for paying it forward through her work as an ambassador.<\/p>\n
