Lili Reinhart Opens Up About Slamming Kim Kardashian’s Extreme Met Gala Weight Loss

Lili Reinhart has opened up about her decision to publicly slam Kim Kardashian for her 16-pound weight loss leading up to the Met Gala. The “Look Both Ways” star appeared on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” and shared that her frustration came from her personal experience with an eating disorder. “I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I thought that absolutely promotes disordered eating,” Reinhart said. “The flip side is, you can do whatever you want with your body, but you have to be aware of the amount of people you’re affecting when you open your mouth.”

Shepard then emphasized that Kardashian doesn’t hold all of the responsibility for the public’s diet choices — to which Reinhart agreed. “You’re absolutely right. I was currently dealing with disordered eating and — I was — I saw red.” Reinhart goes on to explain that Kardashian’s remarks could be viewed by some as a promotion for unhealthy eating habits.

Kardashian herself has responded to the wave of backlash she’s received. “If I was starving and doing it really unhealthy, I would say that, of course, that’s not a good message,” she told Allure. The Skims founder went on to explain that she achieved her weight loss goals with the help of a nutritionist and a personal trainer.
