"Riverdale" season 2 isn't coming back until October, but the drama is already brewing—in real life—for stars Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, who are reportedly dating. Reinhart recently took to Twitter to share a fan encounter that did not go so well.
The story, according to E! News, was that the fan, who admitted in her tweets, was "kinda drunk" and that was when she approached Reinhart and Sprouse in downtown Vancouver. The fan approached the pair in a "friendly way," she stressed, but Sprouse allegedly said, "Who the f---are you" to the fan, who claimed that the pair were "just so rude," so she left instead.
The news got to Reinhart, who took to Twitter to share her side of the story.
Fan angered by actors' attitudes
The "Riverdale" fan took to Twitter to share her disgust at both Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, who she called "disgusting and rude." She also continued to say that celebrities should "deal with the consequences" of being recognized in public or else just quit the acting gigs altogether. She insisted, "Don't become a celeb if u want privacy, u get paid for having sans so respect them or be nice at least."
Actress responds to fans' heated words
"Riverdale" star Lili Reinhart shared her side of the story through several tweets recalling the incident with the disgruntled fan. She wrote that the fan didn't "have the right to approach STRANGERS" and hug them as if she knew them.
The actress wrote, "What you did was not cool and inappropriate." She also corrected the fan's recollection of what Cole Sprouse said to her. As per Reinhart, he did not cuss and instead asked: "Do I know you?" The actress closed with a statement saying that it's "easy" to spread negativity and paint them in a bad light because the fan thought she would never be found out.
Cole Sprouse dating Lili Reinhart?
Since "Riverdale" debuted on The CW, viewers, and fans couldn't deny the chemistry between Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty, and Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead on the series. The pair sparked romance rumors during last July's San Diego Comic Con, where they were spotted holding hands and kissing.
In fact, the pair is often very amicable and sweet to each other on social media. Teen Vogue reported that Reinhart wrote a sweet message on her Instagram on Sprouse's birthday, saying, "To the man who has shown me more beautiful places in this past year than I have ever seen in my whole life. Happy birthday, Cole."
