Madelaine Petsch Shares Advice Luke Perry Gave Her About Dealing With Haters

Madelaine Petsch is opening up about all the hate she received when Riverdale first started.

The 26-year-old actress said that playing Cheryl Blossom brought a ton of online haters, but she didn’t feel like she had the right to complain or clap back.

In her new Cosmopolitan interview for her March cover, Madelaine shared some advice that she got from her late co-star Luke Perry.

“He was like, ‘You’re not a character we’re supposed to like, and that means you’re selling it so well that people think that must be who you are,’” she told the mag.

Madelaine also noted that he told her to get off of Twitter, but for her, that wasn’t enough.

“I called up my team and was like, ‘I love my job, but this is hard for me.’ And one of my team members was like, ‘Maybe you should make a YouTube channel and show them how dumb and weird you are?’” she said, and of course, that’s exactly what she did!

If you missed it, Luke made a surprise appearance in the final high school episode of Riverdale recently, that left fans shocked and in tears. Find out how they made it happen!
