Lili Reinhart has opened up on the struggles that she has been through with her physical and mental health due to insecurities about her body image.
Lili Reinhart Opens Up On Her Mental Health Struggles Amid Insecurities About Her Body Image
The actress may come across very confident on screen, but outside of the cameras, it is fair to say that she has been through a lot of struggle.
And given that her profession as an actress involves showing herself to the world, there is always going to be extra eyes prying on her.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Lili said: “I’ve been struggling with obsessive thoughts about my body/weight the last few months and it’s gotten pretty severe in the last week.”
But things are not going to be made any easier by virtue of her fame. Lili’s following comments suggested that there was an expectation to conform to certain standards which naturally began to take a toll on her health.
While it is not surprising that looks are taken into account, when it comes to the acting industry, the very fact of the matter is that if it takes precedence over one’s acting ability, then it can cause massive problems.
That is the battle that Lili was feeling in her career. She added: “I didn’t think being in this industry, that is so obsessed with women’s bodies and weights, could ever mess with my own body acceptance and positivity.. but it has.”
Nevertheless, by opening up about her struggles, Lili is hoping that her fans can relate to her story. After all, if a major acting star is capable of going through such a thing, then it demonstrates that this is not an alien thing and can happen to anyone.
But by having a valuable support network around you, it is possible to get out on the other side. Her following comments confirmed as much: “I know I’m not alone in this toxic way of thinking about my body.
“And it’s heartbreaking that this feeling is understood by so many of us.” Lili Reinhart has shown a huge amount of courage in being so vulnerable to her fans, and that at the very least should be commended.
