Lili Reinhart will definitely be rethinking her Halloween costume this year.
Over the weekend, the Riverdale starlet posted a DeviantArt picture she found of a "demon" to Twitter, captioning it "Found my Halloween costume!! Inspired by the color of my soul."
The snap featured a woman wearing all black while her skin was covered in black bodypaint.

After receiving some mixed reactions, Lili deleted the tweet, apologizing for sharing the "racially insensitive" image she originally found on Instagram.
She wrote:
I did not mean for my tweet to come off that way. I can see how it was interpreted as being insensitive, completely. I saw the pic on a Halloween Instagram and didn't think it would be interpreted as being racially insensitive.

I apologize. Never meant any harm. I can see how it could've been misinterpreted.

The 21-year-old didn't go so far as to dress up in blackface, but even joking about it?? Still wrong!
What do U think??
