“Riverdale” star Lili Reinhart recently revealed a shocking comment that a male director once made asking her to “suck in her stomach a little bit” in between takes. The actress did not reveal the male director’s identity.
Reinhart was asked to name the “acting note that she took personally.”
She was quick to respond: “When I had a male director come up to me and silently lean over and go, ‘Just suck in your stomach a little bit.'”
The actress was joined by her “Forbidden Fruits” co-stars Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti and Alexandra Shipp, who gasped at the revelation.
Pedretti said, “Oh my God. What is his name? And what is his address?” while Tung yelled: “Time for a hex! Time for hex!”

When Reinhart said she would tell them the director’s name later in private, Shipp prompted her to “say his name!”
Reinhart has been open about her battle with body dysmorphia over the years. She developed an eating disorder while playing Betty Cooper on “Riverdale.”
“I really don’t like looking at season six imagery or pictures, because I know that 99 per cent of my thoughts were about my body,” she said in an interview last year.
“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 made headlines in 2023 for posting on X: “I wish there were more average-sized arms represented in mainstream media for women. My body dysmorphia has been going crazy because I feel like my arms need to be half the size they are currently. We’ve glamorized these skinny arms that, for most of us, can only be achieved if you’re a literal adolescent.”
