Lili Reinhart’s fans began panicking for her

One TikTok user wrote, “Watched this then panicked, then realized it was probs posted a few days ago and felt relieved, then realized it was actually posted minutes ago and now I'm panicking for you.”

Another user commented, “It’s been 12h!! Are you ok???? Hello??? Lili???”

“Pls post something in the next few hours otherwise everyone will think you've been kidnapped by the trash bag killer again,” a third one said.

“This was posted 13 hours ago, are you ok?” a person asked.

Another person posted, “Yeah so this is 7 hours ago and people are genuinely probably gonna start calling the police, are you okay?”

But one individual explained, “I think the driver would rather control the doors than have his passengers break the handle.. I've seen it before and asked, and that's what they told me.”

She also wrote, “Searching for answers about a mysterious autoimmunity/inflammatory disease made 2024 the hardest year of my life. I was inspired to talk about this after my grandmother was ignored by doctors for months when exhibiting clear symptoms of cancer- and it was only after her own strength and advocating for herself that she was given a blood test that diagnosed her. And by then, the cancer had spread.”

“The most important thing I have taken away from this experience is the absolute need to advocate for your own health. Do not let a doctor gaslight you or diminish your pain,” Reinhart added.
