Bullies Told This Actress She Can’t Feel Insecure Because ‘She’s Skinny’, So She Delivers A Perfect Clapback
Insecurities can affect anyone, even those who seemingly have it all. Just ask Lili Reinhart, star of hit TV series Riverdale. Reinhart is an outspoken campaigner for mental health issues, having suffered from anxiety and depression herself, as well as being a champion for body positivity.
“I’m not that flawless image person, she said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I could never live up to that. I’m not going to make people think I’m this airbrushed version of myself. There are lots of versions of me. My hair looks like shit most of the time. It looks great when I’m on a carpet, sure, but that’s not the only side I want people to see of myself.”
Her candid admissions about how low self esteem and insecurities have garnered some critics however, those who look at her Hollywood figure and believe she has no right to be insecure. “Betty does know that she wouldn’t have a job or be in magazines if her body wasn’t socially accepted, right?” said one commentor, referencing Reinhart’s character on the show. “But no. She’d rather try to tell MY fat ass what body shaming is & that her body “isn’t like” Gigi Hadid’s even tho it is.”
This prompted Reinhart to raise some important points of body dysmorphia and insecurities.Who has the right to decide how others should feel? Scroll down below to see how it all unfolded below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Anyone (no matter what they look like or what size they wear) can feel insecure about themselves, about their body, about their looks...Seems like for some people that's hard (or even impossible) to accept.

body shaming can be so subtle - amongst people in person

I had more body issues when I was skinny and depressed than I do now that I gained a little bit of weight. Being skinny is not a given that you will feel confident.

I am too skinny (health issues) - being called a skeleton is as bad as being called a whale

I couldn't even get through this article. MARLYN MONROE HAD A 22inch WAIST! Please, PLEASE stop making her the plus size icon of history. She was beautiful, but she is not the standard we should hold curvy woman to.

she had a 28" waist - squeezed to 22 by corsetry when needed - and she was beautiful

Actually, Marilyn Monroe had a very small waist size: http://mentalfloss.com/article/66536/what-dress-size-was-marilyn-monroe-actually "But according to today's sizing guides—which is what people generally have in mind as a reference when discussing her measurements—Marilyn would be roughly a U.S. size 6 or 8. She'd likely need an 8 for her bust, but with forgiving fabric, a 4 or a 6 would easily fit her hips. And of course, her tiny waist would certainly need a belt."

We Women are all beautiful in all shapes, sizes and colors. Let us empower each and everyone. Stop shaming we are all sisters in different races. Let us make a world a better and full of love place.

The 'bully' sounds like she has issues about her weight and has been bullied about it a lot . She obviously feels that people with her 'FAT a*s' aren't represented in the media enough, and what do we do? Judge her, call her a bully/insecure/cowardly and tell her not to shut up and not to be judgemental. Bravo internet, way to help someone in trouble.

Cry me a river the vast majority of bullys have issues, just like every other person on the planet, what makes them different is the need to take their issues out on other people. If she felt that she is not represented in the media then make that point without attacking someone in the process.

Yeah like she has so many body insecurities. She does Modeling and has a tv show. She really shouldn't be one to speak on body shaming.
