“I really don’t like looking at Season 6 imagery or pictures, because I know that 99% of my thoughts were about my body,” the actor, 28, said.
Lili Reinhart, best known for starring in CW’s hit series “Riverdale,” is opening up about developing an eating disorder after struggling with body dysmorphia while filming the show’s sixth season.
“I really don’t like looking at Season 6 imagery or pictures, because I know that 99% of my thoughts were about my body,” the actor, 28, said in a recent interview with Self magazine. “I was a thousand percent just disassociated through that entire day or scene because my entire inner dialogue is just… ‘Your body’s changing.’”
Reinhart, who played Betty Cooper in the series from 2017-2023, described dealing with a slew of mysterious gut issues and unexplainable weight gain. She shared that she was tested for several autoimmune diseases, but doctors still had no clue about what was to blame.
“I’ve done all of them. And my gut’s still like, ‘Hey, bitch, you got something. You just can’t figure out what it is,’” Reinhart added in the interview, published Jan. 22.
Reinhart has gotten candid about her experiences with body dysmorphia and obsessive-compulsive disorder in the past.
