Lili Reinhart pushes back on Twitter complaint about Riverdale stars being in their mid-20s with "perfectly chiseled bodies"

The Daily Mail

"Don't you think TV shows like this aimed at teenagers are contributing to unrealistic body expectations (and) body image issues?" Reinhart was asked on Twitter. Reinhart responded: "Actually, not everyone on this show is perfectly chiseled. And even I feel intimidated by the physique of my surrounding cast mates sometimes when I have to do bra/underwear scenes. I've felt very insecure due to the expectation that people have for women on tv, what they should look like. But I have come to terms with my body and that I'm not the kind of person you would see walking on a runway during fashion week. I have bigger boobs, I have cellulite on my thighs/butt, and my stomach sticks out rather than curves in. Obligation to be strong and show confidence in myself, looking as I do. And I want other young women to see my body on tv and feel comfort in the fact that I'm not a size 0. And I'm not a perfect hourglass shape."
