People’s most recent digital cover features an interview with Haley Lu Richardson, where she opens up about her personal journey towards self-love. The White Lotus star, known for her quirky onscreen persona, has recently been showing a more vulnerable side to her fans. In July, the 28-year-old actress took to Instagram to reveal that she was going through a difficult time, expressing her emotions and sharing her struggles with her 2.2 million followers. In the interview, Richardson explains that despite the overwhelming feeling of fear and the unknown, she has no regrets about making that post. She admits that it allowed her to truly experience her emotions and connect with people who were going through similar struggles. Richardson feels that the compassion she received from her followers made her feel less alone and provided her with a sense of support.
This is not the first time that Richardson has been open about heartbreak. In November last year, she revealed via an Instagram Story that she and her ex-fiancé, Brett Dier, had privately separated two years prior after being together for over seven years. Richardson shared a photo of herself and Dier with a thumbs up and assured her followers that both of them were doing well. She ended her post by encouraging her followers to love themselves and embrace life. Richardson admits that going public with their separation was difficult but believes that she has grown stronger and is proud of herself for getting through it. She has learned the importance of processing her emotions and has become more comfortable with feeling sadness. Richardson attributes her coping skills to therapy and dance, saying that therapy has had a positive impact on every aspect of her life, while dance has helped her better understand herself and learn to love herself.
