This post contains discussion of eating disorders and body image issues.
In a recent interview with Self, Lili revealed that she developed an eating disorder at the beginning of filming the show’s sixth season, which aired across 2021 and 2022.
“I really don’t like looking at season six imagery or pictures, because I know that 99% of my thoughts were about my body,” she said.
“I was a thousand percent just disassociated through that entire day or scene because my entire inner dialogue is just … ‘Your body’s changing.’”
This isn’t the first time Lili has talked about her struggle with body image issues. Back in 2023, she posted a thread to Twitter about dealing with body dysmorphia. “I wish there were more average sized arms represented in mainstream media for women,” she wrote. “My body dysmorphia has been going crazy because I feel like my arms need to be half the size they are currently? We’ve glamorized these skinny arms that, for most of us, can only be achieved if you’re a literal adolescent.”
“I truly wonder how anyone survives or gets through this life without having severe BD. Maybe it’s a cruel amplified version in combination with my OCD, but damn. The amount of time I’ve wasted thinking about my arms in the last few months is insane.”
“I wanted to throw my own thoughts out there to let other women know they aren’t alone.”
