Lili Reinhart is not backing down from her criticism of Kim Kardashian for promoting unrealistic body standards at the Met Gala.
Lili Reinhart recently Tweeted about her comments on Kim Kardashian’s promotion of unfair body standards, effectively doubling down on her earlier comments.
“*sigh* I do not say the things that I say because I want to be relevant or get attention. I speak up because I don’t see enough people with large platforms calling out toxic behavior in our industry. Some people will never understand where I’m coming from and that’s okay”

“So wrong. So fucked on 100s of levels.
To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word.”
“The ignorance is other-worldly and disgusting.
Please stop supporting these stupid, harmful celebrities whose entire image revolves around their bodies.”
“I am not generally an angry person but I swear to god, the toxicity of this industry sometimes really gets to me and I have to do my little Instagram-story rants to release my rage.”
Some have pointed out that Reinhart has spoken out about this issue in the past, and isn’t just a spur-of-the-moment attack against Kim Kardashian.
