Lindsey Shaw is looking back at a tough time in her career.
"It was so bad. I got called into' creator’s [I. Marlene King] office. And she was just like, 'So we're gonna let you go,'" Shaw recalled."She was like, 'It's not because of your acting, but do you have anybody to talk to?' And I was like, 'No,' you know?"Shaw revealed that during her time on she struggled with drug use and body image issues, something she called a"dumb cycle" that ended up affecting her work.
"It was really sweet, because they brought me back in season 7," Shaw said. "It was so lovely of that writing team to just see that relationship [between Paige and Emily] and that character out. But it was rough.” She also praised her co-star and on-screen love interest, Mitchell, for her support during that difficult time.
Though it wasn't a great time in her career, Shaw said that now that she's in a better place, she's able to appreciate and accept her past.
