  • Camila Mendes, otherwise known as Veronica Lodge from “Riverdale,” shared to Instagram a post about recovering from an eating disorder.
  • The actress called out newly founded nonprofit organization, The Chain, as one major source of strength that she relies on.
  • She ended the post calling for body positivity and self-love. 

Camila Mendes, otherwise known as Veronica Lodge from the cult favorite CW television series “Riverdale,” got personal in her latest Instagram post and we’re cheering her on so damn hard. In her blog-style caption to an all text-based photo, the 23-year-old opened up about recovering from an eating disorder, and how she finds the strength to “clear her head of all the negative voices that creep in every once in a while.” 

One key way she does that, says Mendes, is by building a network to help her get through tough moments—and encouraged others to do the same: “I appreciate the value of peer support when recovering from an eating disorder.”
