As part of an appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’, she discussed her struggles with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), a condition that caused her weight to reach 165 pounds. She expressed her dissatisfaction at the negative comments made about her weight in recent TikTok videos despite her efforts to maintain a positive attitude about her body.

It is accurate, and I’m not mad about it, but seeing things like that does mess with you. Baby added, You don’t know what someone’s going through, what they’re going through in their life, so it’s tough. I don’t think we should be discussing people’s weight in 2023. After receiving applause from the audience, she explained that she likes to eat. Eating is my favourite pastime! The 41-year-old Jennifer wholeheartedly agreed with Bebe’s statement by saying, “Ain’t nothing wrong with that!”.

In response to online trolls who criticized her weight, Bebe Rexha revealed that she gained 30 pounds since being diagnosed with PCOS. The video of me popped up on my TikTok,” Bebe, 33, said while reminiscing about a clip she found on social media that a fan shared of her on her talk show on Thursday, May 25. In the end, I read all the comments, which is the first rule – do not read the comments. As soon as I saw ‘Bebe Rexha weight gain,’ I was like, ugh. According to “I’m Good (Blue)”‘s artist, it’s bound to happen because we’re in the spotlight. Although I gained some weight, I was a lot thinner. It comes with the territory. The truth is, I don’t mind it, but seeing things like that does mess with me. People don’t really know what they’re going through, what they’re going through in their lives, so it’s tough. Bebe shared her thoughts on the TikTok video on Twitter on April 16, writing, It’s so upsetting to see that search bar.
The singer made it clear in her recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show that she understands celebrity comes with a certain amount of scrutiny, but she believes we are in the year 2023. We shouldn’t talk about people’s weight. I like to eat, okay? She revealed that she was diagnosed with PCOS before revealing she likes to eat. Many women have polycystic ovary syndrome and don’t even realize they have it – but I was diagnosed with PCOS last year by the doctor. She then explained to Jennifer, 41, that this condition – in which the ovaries enlarge and produce cysts – is one of the leading causes of obesity and weight gain in women. I literally gained 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little more,” she said. It’s just a matter of showing love to people and being positive. In the past, the “I’m a Mess” singer has been vocal about body image pressures. She shared a photo of herself in a bikini via Instagram in May 2019, explaining why she didn’t edit it.
