Bebe Rexha is good off people commenting on her body.
The “I’m Good (Blue)” singer clapped back at men who sexualize her body on social media, admitting she has a complicated relationship with her changing figure.
“I don’t know what to do with my boobies,” Rexha wrote on X Sept. 6. “They just got so massive and I hate the straight men in my comments who only come for that but, then again, a girl still wanna dress sexy. Idk we need an app for girls and gays.”
In that same vein, the “Me, Myself & I” singer also admitted she has mixed feelings about dressing her body.
“I feel like when girls with curvy bodies wear something tight,” she wrote in a separate X post, “we automatically look slutty.”
But it wouldn’t be the first time the 37-year-old has addressed comments about her appearance. Following her arrival at the 2025 Met Gala, Rexha responded to criticism about her figure by sharing a personal update.
“I’m so tired of people commenting on my weight,” Rexha wrote in a since-deleted message on X that May. “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,” she continued, adding that while she never owed anyone that truth, her message might have critics “think twice” before commenting on “anyone’s body.”
Rexha shared she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in 2023. Though the hormonal condition affects an individual’s ovaries, it can also cause other symptoms such as facial hair and weight gain.
“I went to the doctor, like, last year and I—a lot of women actually have this and they don’t know—[was] diagnosed with PCOS,” Rexha said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in May of that year. “It’s one of the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese. I literally jumped, like, 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more.”
But despite her health struggles—and criticism from the internet—Rexha has tried to see the glass half full.
“I know I’ve gained weight,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2023. “Humans go through fluctuations.”
“Not gonna lie it does suck and bother me when I read some comments but it comes with the territory,” she admitted. “I’ve been learning not to judge myself and accept myself while also trying to make healthier decisions in my life. What I have learned though is numbers don’t define you, your heart does.”

She continued, “The first said I should get on Oz*mpic because I’m too fat. The second accused me of starving myself because I’m too thin. My weight did not change in the time period between their comments. (& it wouldn’t be any of their business if it did!)”
Ava said that “no one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like.” She added, “You don’t always know what someone’s gone through or what they struggle with. But no matter who you are… Your beauty exceeds such superficial measures.”
In a separate post, the 33-year-old added, “Human beings go through weight fluctuations,” she continued, “it’s life and you don’t know what people are going through. Meds, disease, etc…”
“Coming for me in my comments and telling me how I’m too skinny or I need to eat is absolutely not helpful and extremely body shaming,” she continued.”Body shaming of any kind is something I will not stand for.”
More than a week later, she shared a photo of herself sunbathing in a bikini, writing, “For the haters….with love and gratitude kindly [kiss emoji] my [peach emoji], I’ll keep smiling regardless [peace sign emoji].”
Indeed, while performing at Manchester Pride 2025, she graced the stage wearing an oversized T-shirt with a woman’s silhouette—dressed in a cropped tank top and black pushup bra underneath—printed on the front.
“If you don’t want to be criticized, you are in the wrong place. I take what’s good for me. I leave behind what is not good for me,” she explained. “I let my management take care of that, and if it hurts anyone, they will take care of that. And I need to focus on what’s right for me, how I feel and, last but not least, you can’t please everybody.”
Halle then clapped back with a cheeky response, “Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?”
“I haven’t gone on social media AT ALL with the conscious intention of avoiding things that hurt my feelings,” she began her lengthy post. “My eyes accidentally ran over a head line of people ‘body shaming me.’ Honestly, first thing I felt was super insecure over just IMAGINING what these pictures must look like, oh no! My cellulite! Oh no! I didn’t suck in my stomach! But then I was like…of course there are bad pictures, of course there are bad angles, my body’s not made of f–king rock, or all muscles, for that matter. But the saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is they’re seeking a perfection that’s not real.”
“I’m writing this for girls like my little sister who are growing up on social media. They’re constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that’s reality and everyone’s eyes get used to seeing airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT’S norm. It isn’t. It’s fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL. We have a completely unrealistic view of a woman’s body. Girls, cellulite is normal. fat is normal. It’s beautiful and natural. I won’t buy into the bulls–t today!!!! Not today satan and I hope you don’t either.”
She also called out the fashion industry after she claimed several designers refused to dress her for the Grammys because of her size. “Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less then [sic] by their size,” she shared on Instagram in January 2019. “We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY.”
“Absolutely not LOL,” she replied at the time. “My 30 lb son is just breaking my back in every photo.”
Another commenter then wrote, “If that kid is 30lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on.” The cookbook author shut the shamer down, saying, “Excuse you? No. Just no.”
“A few things because honestly I’m so frustrated and I need to vent this,” she wrote in December 2018. “I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy and my goodness I’m so glad I didn’t which is why this photo is now cropped. It’s amazing the comments and how rude some people can be from my last photo I took yesterday. A few things, no I didn’t get a tummy tuck, no I don’t have a personal chef, no I don’t have fortunes so I didn’t train everyday. Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance. I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section).. In that photo I had a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants and wow here I am defending myself. Why?!? If I would have posted the photo of my actual stomach in this photo I would have probably been shamed too even when I was wanting to be vulnerable with my journey. Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame? I say this to myself as much as I say this to y’all…why can’t it be that we are all different. Our bodies are all beautiful and crafted differently, they heal different, they react different, they simply look different. Why do we need to shame someone for not looking a certain way? Or feel bad about ourselves for looking a certain way? Can we be kinder to ourselves and know that every women has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful? Can we lift women up but not tear yourself down in the process with comparing? Let’s give that a try…..I love y’all. Back to my baby.”
However, the actress was quick to shut down the hater. “If a 25 inch waist looks big to you…then you’re looking through an altered lens. Be well,” she replied.
