Bebe Rexha stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday and talked about her weight gain and PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome diagnosis.
The Say My Name singer, 33, revealed she has gained 30lbs and admitted to being upset after reading the comments on one of her recent TikTok videos.
‘Listen, we’re in the public eye, so that’s bound to happen,’ she told Hudson.
‘I was a lot thinner and I did gain some weight – that comes with the territory. I’m not mad about it because it is true, but when you see things like that, it does mess with you.
‘You don’t know what somebody’s going through, what they’re going through in their life, so it kind of is tough. But I feel like we’re in 2023 … we should not be talking about people’s weight,’ she added.
‘Listen … I like to eat, okay? I like to eat,’ the singer added, as Hudson, 41, added, ‘Ain’t nothing wrong with that!’
