“I don’t know what it’s going to do for my mental health…” Ella Purnell can’t watch certain episodes of Yellowjackets

Ella Purnell didn't see the Yellowjackets episode where her character's corpse is eaten.
The 28-year-old actress plays Jackie in the thriller series “Yellowjackets,” about a high school girls soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash in 1996.
Ella's alter ego Jackie Taylor died in the season 1 finale after freezing to death.
At the beginning of the second season, the team attempts to eat Jackie's corpse, but Ella has admitted that she purposely did not watch this episode because she is worried about how she might react to it.
The “UFO” actress recently said at a fan convention in Chicago, according to Deadline, “I'll tell you a secret: I actually haven't seen this episode because I don't know what it's going to do for my mental health.”
“I don't really want to risk it, that's why I didn't see it.”
Ella went on to explain that she found it “disturbing” to see her cast members taking photos with her character's corpse while filming season two.
At a recent Fan Expo in Chicago, she said, “Yeah, it was weird. I knew it was going to happen, I put two and two together. But I was shooting Fallout and the schedule was very, very demanding. I was exhausted. And I got the scripts for the second season, but maybe didn't read them as quickly as I should have because there was a lot going on.
“And one morning I woke up and had all these pictures of my Yellowjackets cast members taking selfies with my charred corpse. Do you know that feeling when you wake up and don't know where you are? It was like that, but on steroids, because I woke up and thought, 'Am I dead?' What happened?' So it was a little worrying.”
