Bebe Rexha Remains Defiant Against Body-Shamers; Says “I Know I Got Fat”

Bebe Rexha has asked the public to avoid discussing her recent weight gain of 30 pounds. She has explained that her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis is the reason behind the growth. Unfortunately, this request comes after an unpleasant incident where she was hit in the face with a cell phone during a performance in New York.

 

The 33-year-old singer received a black eye and posted on Twitter expressing her frustration with the constant criticism about her appearance. Bebe is tired of the subject and wants to move forward from it, even though she acknowledges her weight gain. She tweeted,

“‘I know I got fat. I’m just so sick of people talking about it. NEXT!!!!!!’

Bebe Rexha tweeted about the natural occurrence of weight fluctuations in one’s body and suggested that people should consider various factors contributing to such changes, such as medication or health conditions. Fans responded with supportive messages, complimenting Rexha’s beauty and talent while expressing disappointment in the tendency to criticize others. They also advised her to ignore negativity.

Recently, Bebe Rexha shared a selfie in front of the bathroom mirror, lifting her sweatshirt to show her stomach proudly. She stated that she is embracing her current “fat era” and is not ashamed of it. In a previous interview, she spoke openly about her weight struggles and hormonal imbalances. Rexha emphasized the need for society in 2023 to move beyond obsessing over people’s weight and appearance and instead focus on individual efforts. She also acknowledged her love for food and her ongoing journey toward self-improvement. However, she expressed a momentary feeling of being discouraged.

In her media appearances, Rexha has shared her health concerns, including her diagnosis of PCOS, a hormonal disorder that affects around 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. She has bravely opened up about how this condition has contributed to her weight gain and caused fluctuations in her body size. Rexha has also spoken about her weight and body image difficulties, including pressure from her record label to lose 20 pounds upon signing her first record deal.
