'Riverdale' star Lili Reinhart cautions about an impersonator posing as her in interviews

Riverdale star Lili Reinhart, through her Instagram stories, has brought a strange piece of information to the notice of her followers. As per one of the posts in her stories, a certain individual pretended to be her and successfully managed to impersonate the actor during an interview with the officials at Seventeen Magazine.

Shortly after the publication itself released an apology statement in connection to the same, the Riverdale actor, 24, posted the same on her Instagram stories section and told her fans and followers alike about the unusual situation. A screenshot of the same can be found below. As of this writing, the actual identity of Lili Reinhart's imposter hasn't been made public as yet.

The Tweets:

It's been brought to my attention that the interview I shared with Lili Reinhart was fake, and someone has been impersonating Lili and her publicist. Obviously, I'm embarrassed and quite disturbed, and sincerely apologise to anyone who was misled by the article.

Unfortunately I am tweeting at 3am in the UK (overnight reporter), and the story can't be pulled until we go through the correct legal procedure. I can assure you I will do my best to ensure the matter is resolved as soon as possible, though.
