Bebe Rexha has condemned trolls for making nasty remarks about her weight gain.

The 33-year-old appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday to talk about her PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which was the underlying factor in her weight gain.

And while she made sure to stay positive about her body, the I’m Good hitmaker admitted reading the nasty comments directed at her weight on her recent TikTok videos didn’t make her happy.

“Look, we’re in the public eye, so it’s bound to happen,” she told Jennifer. “I was a lot thinner and gained weight – it comes with the territory. I’m not mad because it’s true, but when you see things like that it bothers you.”

Bebe added: “You don’t know what someone is going through, what they’re going through in their life, so it’s a bit difficult. But I feel like it’s 2023, we shouldn’t talk about the weight of people.”

As the audience applauded her comments, the New York-born star added, “Listen, I like to eat, okay?” I like to eat!”, to which Jennifer, 41, replied, “There’s nothing wrong with that!”

Speaking about her PCOS recently, Bebe said on Gayle King’s SiriusXM show, “I’m definitely struggling with my weight, and I’m struggling with my appearance, and it’s been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS, and a lot of women have it.”

In addition to weight gain, PCOS symptoms include irregular periods, excess facial and body hair, and infertility.

This isn’t the first time Bebe has talked about trolls. Last month, the singer shared a screenshot of TikTok’s search bar, which read “Bebe Rexha weight”, alongside the tweet: “Seeing this search bar is so upsetting. I’m not mad because it’s true. I’ve gained weight. But it sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what.”

She added: “I’ve always struggled with my weight. A bi*** likes to eat. I work on myself every day. Just a little discouraged right now. I work on myself every day. Just a little discouraged NOW.”

It comes after Bebe tearfully confessed she was ‘the heaviest I’ve ever been’ and felt ‘disgusting in my own body’.

“I just weighed myself, and I don’t feel comfortable sharing the weight because I feel embarrassed,” Rexha admitted on TikTok.

“I don’t feel good about myself, and when I don’t feel good, I don’t want to post. And that’s really honestly why I haven’t posted in the last year or as much as I used to.

“I think all the body positivity that comes from me is probably a place of pain and confusion, I don’t know how to help myself or how to love myself anymore.”
