Heather Matarazzo may feel defeated now, but perhaps the messages she received from fans may uplift her spirit. After she posted the concerning tweets, it didn’t take long until fans sent a barrage of encouraging replies.
“We are all with you during this trying time. Remember, its always darkest before the dawn. Old saying but true. Do something good and wild. Get them to notice you. It works,” one fan tweeted. “Don’t give up. You have a lot of fans who adore you and your work. This too shall pass,” wrote another. “I’m hoping the best for you, grew up watching you … You got this,” tweeted a fan.
This isn’t the first time that Matarazzo opened up about her career. In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, she shared that had once hit her lowest point and considered taking her own life. “I don’t know if I took a step back from Hollywood, or Hollywood took a step back from me… I was like, what kind of sick and twisted universe is this?” she recalled. “The fact that I’m still here is a miracle in itself.” Matarazzo also wanted to fight the notion that working actors live glamorous lives, because what’s happening is the opposite. “There is this made-up image of actors, where they live this extravagant, beautiful life. But in reality, it’s just not the experience.”
