\n\tLili Reinhart<\/a> says a male director once told her to \u201csuck in her stomach a little bit\u201d while on set. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview with Cosmopolitan alongside her Forbidden Fruits co-stars, the actress was asked to recall an \u201cacting note\u201d she \u201ctook personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I had a male director come up to me and silently lean over and go, \u2018Just suck in your stomach a little bit,\u2019\u201d Reinhart said, which made her co-stars gasp.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh my God! What is his name?,\u201d Victoria Pedretti <\/a>said to which Reinhart said she would tell them later.<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite Alexandra Shipp encouraging Reinhart to \u201csay his name,\u201d Reinhart kept mum. She also did not reveal the project she was filming on when the comment was allegedly made. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTime for a hex,\u201d Lola Tung also said\u00a0in response.<\/p>\n

\n\tReinhart has been publicly open about her struggles with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder.<\/a> In an interview with\u00a0Self\u00a0magazine<\/a> last year, Reinhart revealed that during the filming of season six of the CW\u2019s Riverdale, she experienced several health issues and weight gain, which prompted an eating disorder.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI really don\u2019t like looking at season six imagery or pictures, because I know that 99 percent of my thoughts were about my body,\u201d the actress told the publication at the time. \u201cI was a thousand percent just disassociated through that entire day or scene because my entire inner dialogue is just \u2026 \u2018Your body\u2019s changing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a 2022 social media post, Reinhart opened up about how \u201cchallenging\u201d it is \u201cto look at your body with love instead of criticism,\u201d which was something she was \u201cstill learning\u201d at the time. Last December, the actress shared her endometriosis diagnosis. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lili Reinhart says a male director once told her to \u201csuck in her stomach a little bit\u201d while…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,43349,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-359602","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-lili-reinhart","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
