Ashley Benson says she didn't get a role because she's 'too fat'

Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson says she was recently denied a role because of her body.

Benson told Ocean Drive that she lost out on a part because, as she was told, she is "too fat." The 26-year-old actor is a size two.

"I cried for 30 minutes, but then you have to let it roll off your shoulders or it could cause a serious eating disorder," Benson said. "A lot of people in this industry hear they need to lose weight more times than they should."

On the topic of body image, Benson said she's no fan of Photoshop, and she recently saw some photos of herself taken during a shoot that looked nothing like her due to all of the retouching.

"I hate to think that girls are like, ‘She’s so skinny! Her skin is so perfect,'" Benson said. "I have pimples just like they do.”

To drive this point home, Benson recently posted a selfie on Instagram wearing zit cream, and she said she wanted to show her fans that she's not perfect.

It's the new trend. ????
