Lili Reinhart is opening up about struggles she dealt with while filming Riverdale.

During a chat with magazine Self, Reinhart shared that while working on the sixth series of the CW program, she faced multiple health complications and unexpected weight increase. This situation ultimately led her to struggle with an eating disorder.

As a devotee, I can’t help but shy away from images and snapshots of season six, as they serve as stark reminders of the fact that nearly all my mental energy during that period was preoccupied with concerns about my physical appearance. Throughout that entire phase, I found myself completely detached – my mind incessantly echoing with thoughts like a broken record: “My body’s changing.

The actress from Hustlers shared that she has undergone numerous tests for autoimmune disorders. “I’ve taken all of them,” she stated. “And my gut keeps telling me, ‘Hey, there’s still something wrong. You just can’t seem to pinpoint what it is.’

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, my breakout role in Riverdale really catapulted me into the spotlight, and ever since then, I’ve been grateful for the chance to use this platform to spread a positive message. For me, that message is all about body positivity. In fact, just recently, I opened up about my own struggles with being overly critical of my body. It’s 2022, and I’m learning to embrace myself as I am!

For the past couple of months, I’ve been battling intrusive thoughts about my body and weight, which have worsened significantly over the last week. I want to take a moment to be open and honest with you all, to express what I’m experiencing, in the hope that anyone else going through something similar won’t feel so isolated.

She went on to say: “I’m right here alongside you, and it’s tough to embrace your body with love rather than scrutiny – it’s a skill I’m still working on. I never imagined that this profession, so fixated on women’s bodies and weights, would affect my own body acceptance and self-worth. But it has. If only I hadn’t come of age in a society where the media glorified just one type of female physique. … I understand that I’m not the only one struggling with this harmful mindset about my body. And it’s devastating to know that so many others share these feelings. Let’s keep discussing it. Let’s make it commonplace. Let’s show empathy towards each other. Let’s extend kindness and understanding.
