Losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks just to fit into the perfect dress is completely over the top, but we’re not Kim Kardashian.
When you are consistently in the news and reality shows are synonymous with your name, beating your last appearance can be challenging.

Keeping your name in the news is a full-time job, so how do you top your recent red carpet debut with your new beau at the White House Correspondents dinner?
You attend the Met Gala in the same dress Marilyn Monroe wore for her iconic ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ performance. And no, you can’t wear a replica. It just wouldn’t have the same impact, it has to be the original.
Kim Kardashian may have found that perfect statement dress to capture both the media and fans around the world’s attention but there was a minor challenge, well minor for Kim.
According to an interview with Vogue, Kim admitted that the dress wasn’t the perfect fit and because of its historic value her only option was to lose an incredible 16 pounds in 3 weeks.

But are these the actions of a role model? Lili Reinhart thinks otherwise, and the 25-year-old actress isn’t holding back.
Her Instagram story was packed with her views, “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 f***ing dress? So wrong. So f***** 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 disgusting.”

Lili wasn’t done and asked fans to “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,” she added.

The following day, Lili defended her criticism on Twitter, “*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 ☯️.”

And she just may have a point. It’s bad enough that 1000s of young women are trying to live up to unattainable photoshopped images, and now their role models are advocating for fad diets to fit into dresses.
Well, I suppose if we’re to be Kim K wannabees, we better abandon our forks!
