KELLY CLARKSON HAD RESPONDED ON THE BODY SHAMING COMMENTS
As she had gained fame with the American Idol, back in 2002, Kelly had stated that she loves herself, as if she gains or loses weight, no matter what, she loves her body.
She had added that it is not okay for someone to accept the beauty standart of others, as if they are the final judgement owners.
41-year-old star is now hosting her own show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, which premiered in its fourth season.
In her interview with Redbook, she had stated that she is now able to stop minding others, as she said, “No one actually cares about your health. They just care about aesthetics. It’s when I’m fat that I’m happy. People think, ‘Oh, there’s something wrong with her. She’s putting on weight.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, no! I’m sorry, but that represents happiness in my emotional world.”
“For me when I’m skinny is usually when I’m not doing well. If you gauge your life on what other people think, you’re going to be in a constant state of panic trying to please everyone. People should just concentrate on their own lives and their own health and their own happiness, and whatever that looks like for you, be happy with it.”
“I felt more pressure from people actually when I was thin, when I was really thin and not super healthy because I just was worn out, just working so hard and not keeping healthy habits. But I felt more pressure. It was more of magazines shoved in front of you and, ‘This is what you’re competing with and we’ve got to compete with it.’” She continued.
“I can’t compete with that. That’s not even my image. That’s not who I am. That’s who they are. We’re all different and it’s okay. I fought more when I was thinner than I do now, because now I just walk in and I just look at them like, ‘I dare you to say something. I’m happy in my life. I’ll work on me in my time!’” she said to the Glamour, back in 2020.
She had stated that she is battling with autoimmune condition and hyperthyroidism. She had added that she has no control over her weight as she said, “can literally gain 2 sizes, or lose 2 sizes, from morning to lunch.”
As she explained her diet, she said she is eating foot that, “non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic,”
“I know the industry loves the weight gone, but for me it wasn’t (about) the weight. For me, it was ‘I’m not on my medicine anymore,’” she had stated in her interview with Today.
“I got on the number one television show at my heaviest point, because it was right after I had kids and it was like they didn’t care,”
“It had nothing to do with my sex appeal or my look aesthetically. It had to do with me as a person. I think it’s really up to artists to force people to have that mentality.”
“…I don’t care what kind of weight she’s holding down; you walk in the room and she’s like a force, just physically captivating…that doesn’t change how many times I listened to her record.” She had said for Adele.
“I’m gonna look like a total Shar Pei, like a dog,’’
“I’m gonna have every wrinkle in the world on my face. It has nothing to do with me being better than somebody who gets something done to their face; I am afraid of stuff called botulism toxin… It’s literally called botulism toxin, and I’m like no.”
“I hope people see that this is what it looks like, this is how you look when you get older.” She added.
