Riverdale's Lili Reinhart has never been afraid of calling out her critics on social media, and that doesn't change, even when the actress is on holiday.
Over the new year festivities, Lily sent a message to all her haters who are still attacking her on social media, posting some playful pictures of herself enjoying her days off while also going after her Twitter trolls.
The first photo features her sticking out her middle finger with the caption: "It's 2019, a**holes. Bite me."
She later posted a second photo of her and one of her friends with the caption: "Hey Twitter trolls, I'm in a tropical paradise drinking strawberry coladas and exploring an island, lol what u doin."
She later also posted a note on her Instagram story with her reasoning why she continues to respond to them.
"I give too much of myself to those people. The last people on earth who deserve it. And I feel regret. For letting them spark a reaction of me. When I know all too well that the moment will pass," she wrote.
What to Read Next
Lili continued to talk about how she is trying to not respond to them, especially since they don't know who she really is.
"I'm worth too much to cheapen myself by acknowledging that their web even exists," she added. "Each year brings new lessons. This is one of mine."
The actress also recently took a break from Twitter over Christmas, but she returned to the site earlier this week to post another message to her haters.
"At the end of the day, if you go online to attack people who you don't know...you are only making it brutally apparent how insecure and unhappy you are," she wrote.
"Misery loves company. Which is why hate grows. And people find happiness in hating or criticising the same things. So think of how you're presenting yourself as a human being when you choose to do so."
Many of her fans reached out with messages of support for the Riverdale actress, and Lili thanked them in a special message for sending her love.
"Also just a general thank you to everyone who is so kind and loving to me. I see you. I see your messages. It makes my heart happy. Thank you for your love."
Riverdale airs on The CW in the US and Netflix in the UK.
