Camila Mendes is cool in black sleeveless dress with buttons down the front in LA

She was swift to defend her Riverdale co-stars this week when they were ‘falsely accused’ of sexual misconduct.

And on Wednesday, Camila Mendes appeared to be deep in conversation on her phone as she grabbed some coffee to go near her LA home.

The actress, 25, looked cool on the summery day in a sleeveless black dress with buttons down the front.

She paired the figure-hugging frock with  pair of white slides and wore a blue patterned mask around her neck as she took her call.

Camila left her long dark hair loose and carried a purse over one shoulder.

On Tuesday, she voiced her support of her Riverdale castmates for the second time in two days during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jess Cagle Show.

Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, Vanessa Morgan and KJ Apa were accused of sexual misconduct by anonymous Twitter accounts and all four have vehemently denied the allegations which they have called ‘false’. 

‘It’s so insane to me that somebody would do such a thing, to prove a point, it feels so trivial,’ Camila told Cagle.

‘To damage not only the integrity of the Me Too movement, but also potentially damage the careers of these people and their lives in order to make a point about how easily people believe things, it’s so backwards to me,’ she added. ‘I feel for my cast mates who had to deal with that.’ 

Earlier in the week, on Monday, Camila had posted a statement to her Instagram refuting the allegations against her friends and co-stars. 

‘It’s incredibly destructive to falsely accuse people of sexual assault,’ she stated. 

‘It’s sickening and doesn’t prove anything except that there are twisted people in this world who have no concern for the consequences of their harmful actions.’

Both Cole and Lili say they are considering legal action after the series to tweets were posted on Sunday.

They both put out statements via social media to condemn the ‘baseless’ claims. 

Cole, 27, shared on Sunday: ‘Earlier today myself and three other cast mates were falsely accused of sexual offense by anonymous accounts on twitter. I take these accusations very seriously, and will be working with the right teams to get to the root of it.’

He added: ‘False accusations do tremendous damage to victims of actual assault. Furthermore, I would never silence anybody. I encourage that people look into the accusations themselves, as the events detailed were factually untrue.’ 

Lili, 23, retweeted Cole’s remarks and added her own, saying: ‘We are looking into taking legal action. This kind of sick behavior only harms true survivors. This was incredibly triggering for me and scary because I’ve always supported survivors and believed them.’ 

‘This kind of lie can ruin lives and careers – and I can call it a lie because the person who made the allegations already admitted that the stories were fabricated.’
