'I really don't like looking at season six imagery or pictures, because I know that 99 percent of my thoughts were about my body,' she shared.

'Your body's changing.'Reinhart further disclosed that she has undergone testing for various autoimmune diseases, but hasn't found a definitive diagnosis. 'I’ve done all of them,' she stated.
