Lili Reinhart Slams Kim Kardashian For Promoting Crash Diet To Fit In Her Met Gala Outfit. Well, Someone Had To Say It
This year’s Met Gala was a straight-up disappointment. Ngl, there were some celebs who went all extra (as one is supposed to) on the red carpets, the others looked like they had barely put any effort. And one such celeb who did not live up to the expectations was Kim Kardashian. However, more than her dress what irked people more were the crash diet comments she made. Yep, I’m referring to her statement about losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress. A lot of people were unhappy with the comment, including the actress Lili Reinhart who went forth and called Kim Kardashian out for her comment.

Kim Kardashian had recently revealed that she lost 16 pounds in a span of three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s dress that the icon had worn for JFK’s birthday party in 1962. And after the Met Gala, Kim showed off the pizza and doughnuts that were waiting for her as she was “starving”. Reacting to that, Lili Reinhart called out the actress for promoting such physically and psychologically damaging diets.

Lili Reinhart has on various occasions spoken about her struggles with body image issues and has always condemned the sexist societal standards set for body and looks – especially in Hollywood. So, it wasn’t much of a surprise when she slammed Kim Kardashian’s crash diets comments – something that is toxic and completely unhealthy.

Calling Kim Kardashian and her crash diet comments out, Lili Reinhart wrote on her Instagram story, “So wrong. So fucked on 100s of levels. To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of 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.”

Lili Reinhart further added, “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are… because you haven’t eaten carbs in the last month… all to fit in a fucking dress?… The ignorance is other-worldly and disgusting.”
Lili Reinhart urges her fans to stop supporting such “stupid, harmful celebrities whose entire image revolves around their bodies”.She concludes her fiery rant by admitting that she usually doesn’t get this angry but all the toxicity just gets to her. And when that happens, she chooses her little Instagram story rants to vent all of that out.
I’m with her on this. Her take on the crash diet comments was spot-on. And honestly, it’s about time celebs start being more sensitive rather than ignorant about body image-related issues.
