Lili Reinhart

Lili Reinhart is a bisexual actress who came out publicly in June 2020 at a virtual LGBTQ+ for Black Lives Matter protest, describing herself as a "proud bisexual woman." The declaration was unprompted and arrived in the context of her activism around racial justice, connecting her LGBTQ+ identity to a broader commitment to equality and visibility. Reinhart has spoken in subsequent interviews about having known she was bisexual for years before disclosing it publicly, and about the specific challenge of coming out as bisexual — an identity that is often dismissed, erased, or misunderstood — as someone in the public eye. She is best known for playing Betty Cooper, the golden-girl investigative journalist with a dark interior, in The CW's "Riverdale" (2017–2023) — a role she played for six seasons. She has been an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, particularly around anxiety and depression, and has spoken about the relationship between her mental health journey and her coming-out process. Her film credits include "Hustlers" (2019), "Chemical Hearts" (2020), and "Look Both Ways" (2022).
