Lili Reinhart slams Kim Kardashian!
Lili Reinhart took to her social media to share a couple of important things where she called out Kim Kardashian (without actually naming her but it was pretty obvious to know who she was referring to) for setting a poor example for her fans and people across the world after she disclosed that she was on a strict diet so that she could fit into her Marilyn Monroe gown for the MET Gala 2022.
Kim Kardashian spoke about how she was on a strict diet and exercise schedule so that she could lose 16 pounds in three weeks so that she could fit into the dress. It's mind-boggling, Lili said in one of her stories, when someone wants to appear on the red carpet and announce in an interview that they starved for a month because they wanted to fit into a fucking dress. The Riverdale actress continued that it’s such a wrong thing and fucked up on so many levels to admit openly that she (Kim Kardashian) starved herself for the sake of MET GALA.
Lili added that when you’re in a spot where you’re aware that people are looking up to you and listening to every word you say, why would you say such a thing? She went on to say that the ignorance is "out of this world" and that fans and the general public should not support "stupid" and 'harmful' celebrities whose entire image revolves around their body.
Lili Reinhart added that she is not generally an angry person, but reading and listening to such comments from people gets to her, which is why she went ahead with her Instagram story rants to release her rage. Lili’s rage came after Kim Kardashian’s during a red carpet interview at the MET Gala 2022 mentioned that when she tried the gown initially, she did not fit into it and the gown couldn’t be altered. She added that she wanted to cry but instead she asked for three weeks time and started her training to lose 16 pounds.
Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's gown, which she wore to President John F. Kennedy's birthday party in 1962 and was on display at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, Florida for her MET GALA 2022 look. She walked the red carpet alongside her boyfriend Pete Davidson, and shared in the interview that she was determined to fit into the dress, so she used a sauna suit twice a day, ran on the treadmill, eliminated all sweets and carbs, and ate only fresh vegetables and protein to lose weight. Kim Kardashian clarified that she did not go hungry, but that her diet was quite rigorous.
Lili Reinhart, who has been vocal about her body image issues and struggles, shared in January that she has been excessively worrying about her body and weight, so she wants to take a moment to be open and share her story in the hopes that if someone out there is going through the same thing, they will not feel alone as she is.
It's a challenge, Lili acknowledged in her post, to look in the mirror with love instead of criticism, and it's something she's still learning to be okay with. The actress stated that she never imagined that working in an industry preoccupied with women's weight and bodies would cause her head to be messed up to the point where she would find it difficult to accept her body as it is. Lili added in her post that she wished she hadn’t grown up in a time when the media and publication houses worshipped only one size of women.
The actress continued, that her body has carried her throughout her life and has been through all of her scars, tears, and pain, and she wished that she could love it more even if it does not look like it did when she was 20, but she is genuinely trying. Lili went on to say that she recognizes that her body, regardless of size, deserves equal respect and admiration, and that not feeling at ease in her own flesh is a heartbreaking sensation.
The Hustlers actress added that it almost feels like her body has betrayed her by changing and whenever she looks in the mirror, she pulls her skin back tight to see what her body should look like, what she's expected to look like, and it’s almost painful to think that hundreds of millions of us are so concerned with what our bodies look like.
The Riverdale actress concluded that somewhere along the line, humanity is fucked up and she knows that she isn’t the only one thinking about her body in the same toxic way and added that it’s heartbreaking. Lili Reinhart stated that let’s continue to talk about it, normalize it, and show compassion and kindness.
Kim Kardashian has not yet commented on the matter.
