“I know personally for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body,” she told fans in a 2023 TikTok. “I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my ‘healthy.’ But that in fact wasn’t my ‘healthy.'”
The “thank u, next” singer added that she “shouldn’t have to explain” her body, saying that “healthy can look different” for everyone.
“I think you’re beautiful no matter what you’re going through,” she continued. “No matter what weight, no matter how you like to do your makeup these days, no matter what cosmetic procedures you’ve had or not, or anything, yeah I just think you’re beautiful and wanted to share some feelings.”
