Busy Philipps is as fun loving in real life as her character Laurie Keller in ‘Cougar Town’ and her social media posts serve as the proof for the same. 

The 40-year-old actress recently took off to Mexico for a short vacation, documenting her trip on Instagram. 

She shared a picture of herself in a black string bikini, looking dead-drop gorgeous. She captioned the picture, “Rogue. Bye Mexico, thank you for the nachos and margs and pools and laughs and tears and also the nachos did I mention those and I love you and I'll be back you know I will.”

Seems like the trip to Mexico was much-needed for Philipps, following the recent experience she had on social media that earned her a lot of criticism for ranting about her show ‘Busy Tonight’ being canceled abruptly.

It didn’t go quite so well with fans when the actress shared a series of selfies, which she said were taken during her breakdown, incited by the network’s decision about her show. 

The collective reaction of fans was fueled further when Philipps posted a picture of an angry letter her daughter Bridie had written to E!

One of the comments read, “Wow, your 11 year old is already showing a lot of class and although it may not have been handled well, your show got cancelled because it wasn’t any good. Reality check.”

However, some of her fans found her posts ‘bold’ and ‘funny’. They extended their support for Phillips with some of the sweetest comments. 

“Um, Birdie is amazing. I agree with her. Can’t wait for them to regret their choice to cancel your show when you’re shining elsewhere. I have missed your show. I looked forward to drinking my coffee and laughing with you. 💕 Sending the biggest hugs and can’t wait to see what you do next!!” wrote a fan.
