Former 'Pretty Little Liars' Star Lindsey Shaw Recalls Being Fired From Hit Show Amid Struggles With Drugs and Body Image

Shaw revealed she was let go from the show in season 5 due to her weight loss and drug use.
Shaw said she relied on drugs to avoid addressing her unhealthy relationship with food and body image.
Despite being fired, Shaw expressed gratitude for the opportunity and support from co-star Shay Mitchell.
The show's creators eventually brought Shaw back for the final season to give her character a proper send-off.
Shaw said she is now in a healthier place and has a better relationship with her body and mental health.
