Riverdale's Bernadette Beck recently opened up about her experience working in the hit series aired on CW, claiming that she was cast just to fulfill a diversity quota. Beck played Peaches 'N Cream on a couple of seasons including Season 3 and 4 of the popular show.

During a recently concluded interview with Elle, Beck divulged details about her experience being a part of the well-received teen drama. Her decision to make these revelations comes after her co-star Vanessa Morgan blasted the media for their representation of black people, specifically targetting Riverdale.

Beck felt her character was created in a way that no one would like her, making her an unlikable person in everyone's eyes. She thinks Peaches 'N Cream had no backstory and was often spotted in the background of scenes.

Although she realizes there are a protagonist and antagonist, Beck claims her character lacked a story plot and there was no development to even portray her as an antagonist. For no reason, Beck said her character was shown in a negative, unattractive way, adding that she wasn't the first Black actress to show up on set, and do nothing more than just chew gum and look sassy and mean.

The producers of the show told her that her character acts sassy and always spoke her mind, but didn't give her enough dialogue. Beck felt she was cast just to fulfill a diversity quota and has been completely forgotten in the scene on several occasions.

As if that weren't enough, Beck said she had to chase down a director for instructions on what she would be doing on set. The 26-year-old actress said people treated her like she was invisible on the set and lauded themselves for fulfilling their diversity quota for the day.

Aside from receiving backlash on social media, Beck said her role could pose a serious threat to her career, admitting that while a lot of people say it is just a TV show, she is considering the long-term association. She said if an actor's character is depicted as unlikeable, or their characters are not developed, or they are considered as enemies all the time, this has a negative influence on their public persona, E reported.

She also claimed that her white co-stars were given more screen time and character development, which explains their massive following. Beck, on the other hand, played a character that was looked at with dislike.
