Bebe Rexha remains undeterred by online negativity. The Grammy-nominated artist recently addressed a critical remark made during an Instagram Live session, in which a troll suggested that she resembled someone who had "eaten Lizzo."

Bebe Rexha claps back at body-shaming troll

In a TikTok video released on Thursday, Rexha, 35, directly responded to the comment. “Firstly, I am unbothered. Secondly, I am fully aware of everything. I recognize that I have gained weight,” she remarked.

She also mentioned the specific troll, stating, “Yes, someone commented that I resemble Marilyn Monroe after she had eaten Lizzo.” An off-camera individual could be heard gasping in reaction to the unkind remark.

The singer went on to acknowledge her struggles but reassured her audience, saying, “I don’t want you to feel sorry for me because I assure you, I feel stronger than ever.”

Setting the record straight on Lizzo

Following the widespread attention her response received, Rexha took the opportunity to clarify that her remarks were not directed at Lizzo. In the comments section on TikTok, she stated, “BTW LIZZO LOOKS AMAZING,” expressing her support for the artist, who has recently showcased a more slender appearance.

Rexha also reflected on her initial encounter with the body-shaming comment. Upon returning from a recent trip to Dubai, her friends urged her to view the viral video, and she was shocked by the severity of the remarks.

Owning her journey and power

Rexha has openly addressed her challenges regarding self-image and the lack of recognition within the industry. In a TikTok response, she stated, “I understand that while people are familiar with my music, they do not truly know me. I feel I have not received the acknowledgement I rightfully deserve.”

However, she expressed that rather than allowing these feelings to diminish her spirit, they have empowered her. She hinted at a promising future with the message, “2025 is going to be different ✨.”

This is not the first occasion Rexha has discussed her struggles with body image. In May 2023, during her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she disclosed that she had experienced a weight gain of 30 pounds due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

“I visited the doctor last year — and many women are unaware they have this condition — and I was diagnosed with PCOS, which stands for polycystic ovary syndrome,” she explained.

“I rapidly gained about 30 pounds, perhaps even a bit more. Nevertheless, we must maintain a positive outlook and spread love to others,” she emphasized.

Rexha is among numerous celebrities who have shared their experiences with PCOS, including Keke Palmer, Sasha Pieterse, Lea Michele, Victoria Monét, and Teen Mom star Maci Bookout.
