Bebe Rexha is speaking out about her health.
The 33-year-old “Call On Me” singer-songwriter got candid about her struggles with weight gain in a new appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
She spoke about what it has been like for her since she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS, and how it has affected her appearance.
She shared that she recently read a comment about her weight gain on TikTok:
“Listen, we’re in the public eye, so that’s bound to happen. 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.”
Bebe also addressed her PCOS weight gain on Gayle King’s SiriusXM show:
“I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with the way that I look, and it’s been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS and a lot of women have it. It’s tough…I’ve been definitely struggling with my weight and I’ve been struggling with food forever.
I remember starting out and getting my first record deal, they kind of put it in my head and they said to me when I first got signed, ‘Are you ready to get into bootcamp shape? Because you need to lose 20 lbs. in order to do this career. Like you have to lose weight.’”
