Hey, what’s up you guys it’s Emile Ennis
Jr. here with Clevver News, and Lili Reinhart
says she feels like a “prisoner” returning
to the set of “Riverdale.”
Now, as we know the cast recently touched
down in Vancouver to begin filming for the
first time since quarantine and are abiding
by all CDC guidelines.
This includes quarinting for two weeks after
touching down in Canada to keep everyone safe
and social distancing on set.
Also back on set is Toni Topaz herself, Vanessa
Morgan, who back in May called out the show
for limiting black voices.
Vanessa shared a tweet in support of the black
lives matter movement while sharing a personal
experience from her hit television show saying,
"Tired of how Black people are portrayed in
Media, tired of us being portrayed as thugs,
dangerous or angry scary people.
Tired of us also being used as side kick non
dimensional characters to our white leads.
Or only used in the ads for diversity but
not actually in the show."
Shortly after, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared
that changes will come to the show with Lili
sharing her support for Vanessa saying, “I
mean, the show historically has been pretty
white.
Roberto is very conscious of it now to make
sure that that doesn’t happen again and
Vanessa doesn’t feel that she’s put in
that position again.”
Lili also shared that in her new role as a
producer for the show she will keep a close
eye on being inclusive saying “I feel as
a producer now moving forward how important
it is that I’m not stereotyping, stereo
casting anything.
Really making sure I’m going out of my way
to do right by Black people, by transgender
people, by people who don’t look like me.”
Vanessa shared on August 28th that she was
already back on set filming.
This news comes just one month after she announced
that she was pregnant with her first child
with her estranged husband Michael Kopech.
And now that Lili is back on set, well let’s
just say that she isn’t COMPLETELY over
the moon at being on set during a global crisis.
In her most recent interview with Nylon, Lili
opened up about heading back to set and filming
the last few episodes of season four.
She said, “We stopped during the prom episode,
so I have to fit back in that prom dress.
Five months later, we're all going to be tan,
maybe a little bit thicker.
I certainly am.”
Lili added, “I genuinely feel like a prisoner,
going back to work, because I cannot leave
Canada.
That doesn't feel good.
You can't go home for Thanksgiving, can't
visit your family.
No one can come visit you unless they quarantine
for two weeks.
It just feels f***ed.”
And while she’s stuck with “Riverdale”
for the foreseeable future this also means
no new project for the time being, but she’s
okay with that adding “I'm very lucky, but
it's like, ‘I need to keep going.
I need to keep going.’”
But when it comes to how fans view Lili’s
comment well let’s just say not everyone
liked it with one fan writing "I genuinely
feel like a prisoner, going back to work,
because I cannot leave Canada," Lili Reinhart
revealed to Nylon.
Already dropped #Riverdale, surely not coming
back after this!!!
40,000 an episode and she feels like a prisoner,
imagine the rest of us.”
And others stuck by Lili’s side with another
fan writing, “Thinking about this nylon
interview with lili reinhart.
this is so f**ked.
I understand they have to continue filming
S4 but can't this wait? we're in a pandemic.
Riverdale isn't very important.”
Quarantine has been good to Lili who just
made her executive producer debut in her latest
movie “Chemical Hearts” out now on Amazon.
Wishing her the best.
