She said that while she was 19 and new to New York City, she was dealing with an eating disorder exacerbated by people working on production who “would say some vile f-cking things to me about my body.”

Reneé revealed it got so bad that, before the pandemic, her parents flew to New York to try to pull her out of the show for fear of what it was doing to her health.

Now that she’s working in music, Reneé says her parents are “more worried than they ever have been, because they know more now.”

“Eating disorders don’t just go away and like, you’re healed, like: ‘Sorry, I can eat again, ha ha!’ It’s a lifelong thing. There are battles with addiction and whatever everywhere. I still struggle with it, but at least my parents know that I’ve been taken out of environments that were really harmful to my sickness, which is awesome and a huge win. They worry like hell, but they’re chilling, I guess,” she said.

She also opened up about being so candid about the situation.

“My generation and the generation that will follow mine is much more open – especially women, non-men, queer people. I do think I’ve been afforded more opportunities than women before me, men and queer women before me. This generation is still super mean to each other. But we are more outspoken – and give less of a f–k.”

She was just involved in a scary on-stage incident as well, involving Drew Barrymore.
