" Maybe now you ’ll think double before commenting on anyone ’s body . ”
Warning: Discussion of pregnancy loss.
In case y’all needed a millionth reason why commenting on someone’s weight is not okay, let’s look at what Bebe Rexha had to say after theMet Gala.
The singer made her Met Gala debut last night in a Christian Siriano gown. Unfortunately, some took that as an opportunity to talk about her body yet again.
Occasional musician and frequent trollAzealia Bankswrote on X that Bebe’s look was giving “hormonal birth control implant” — a jab at her weight.
In a now-deleted post, Bebewrote, “I’m so tired of people commenting on my weight. I have PCOS and struggle with infertility. I got pregnant, and it didn’t work out and I’ve been carrying that pain in silence. I never owed anyone that truth, but maybe now you’ll think twice before commenting on anyone’s body.”
Bebe further responded to Azealia directly, writing, “You might want to jump on some type of therapy sis, lexapro worked great for me.”
Bebe has been candid over the past few years about having PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. It’s ahormonal disorderthat can affect your sensitivity to insulin, leading many people who have it to gain weight regardless of lifestyle.
But, regardless of someone’s health status, it is profoundly uncool to shame someone for their weight.
