Lili Reinhart’s stomach comment has caught everyone’s attention. During a candid conversation with her “Forbidden Fruits” cast, the actress revealed that once a director told her to “suck in your stomach.” While this revelation triggered her co-stars, she seemingly defended the filmmaker, claiming he might be thinking professionally. However, the “Riverdale” alum later agreed with her girlfriends — Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, and Alexandra Shipp.
Lili Reinhart says his intentions were not bad
Lili Reinhart defended a director’s comment on Cosmopolitan’s “Group Therapy Couch.” She appeared on the candid talk show with her “Forbidden Fruits” cast, including Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, and Alexandra Shipp. Each of them took turns sitting on the couch and answering their co-stars’ questions.
When it was Reinhart’s turn, her question was: “What is one acting note that you took personally?” Rolling her eyes, the 29-year-old revealed, “When I had a male director come up to me, and silently lean over and go, ‘just suck in your stomach a little.” Her answer left the other actresses in shock, and they gasped in surprise.
The girl gang immediately came to Reinhart’s support, pushing her to “say the name” of the director. While the “Chemical Hearts” star promised to reveal it later, her co-stars appeared to be triggered and angry on her behalf. Seeing their reaction, she tried to calm the situation down by defending the filmmaker.
Reinhart said, “You know, weirdly, I don’t think his intentions were bad. But I genuinely think he didn’t want me to look at the footage later and be like, ‘Oh, someone maybe should have told me it was unflattering.” Meanwhile, Tung, Pedretti, and Shipp intervened and made her understand that it was not appropriate for the director to make such a comment.
The girls cheered her on, saying that Reinhart doesn’t have an unflattering angle. Moreover, Shipp corrected the “Swim” MV star that it was the director’s job to shoot a “flattering” angle.
