A 2018 study found that face filters on apps were leading to a phenomenon called “Snapchat dysmorphia”, where patients were seeking surgery “to help them appear like the filtered versions of themselves”.

For Reinhart, this is an issue close to home. She has previously spoken out about her own body dysmorphia issues – and blasted critics who say she can’t embrace body positivity because of her shape.

“Feeling really disheartened by the fact that so many people are saying “you’re skinny so shut up about embracing your body’,” she said on Twitter.

“As if my body dysmorphia is irrelevant because of how I look to some people. I’m either not curvy enough or not skinny enough to feel insecure.”

On body-editing apps, she pleaded with fans to cut themselves some slack on social media, saying: “Once you alleviate yourself of the pressure to conform to FAKE/UNREAL standards… the world is a lot brighter.

“I promise you.”
