2 Apr
Summary
- Actress Lili Reinhart was told by a director to suck in her stomach.
- She has spoken openly about her struggles with body dysmorphia.
- Reinhart also recently shared her endometriosis diagnosis.
Actress Lili Reinhart disclosed a jarring on-set experience during a recent interview. A male director reportedly approached her and instructed her to "suck in your stomach a little bit," a comment that visibly shocked her co-stars.
Reinhart has been vocal about her personal struggles with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder. She previously shared that filming the sixth season of "Riverdale" coincided with significant weight gain and health issues, which exacerbated her eating disorder.
She expressed difficulty viewing images from that period, as her thoughts were consumed by her changing body. Reinhart also acknowledged on social media the ongoing challenge of viewing one's body with love rather than criticism. In December of last year, she revealed her diagnosis of endometriosis.
