Bebe Rexha has condemned trolls for making nasty remarks about her weight gain.
The 33 year old dropped by on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday to speak about her PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which was the underlying factor behind her weight gain.
And while she ensured to stay positive about her body, the I'm Good hitmaker admitted that reading the nasty comments directed about her weight on her recent TikTok videos did not make her happy.
"Listen, we're in the public eye, so that's bound to happen,' she told Jennifer. "I was a lot thinner, and I did gain some weight - that comes with the territory. I'm not mad about it because it is true, but when you see things like that, it does mess with you."
Bebe added: "You don't know what somebody's going through, what they're going through in their life, so it kind of is tough. But I feel like we're in 2023, we should not be talking about people's weight."

Speaking of her PCOS recently, Bebe said on Gayle King's SiriusXM show: "I definitely struggle with my weight, and I struggle with the way that I look, and it's been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS, and a lot of women have it."
As well as weight gain, PCOS symptoms include irregular periods, excess facial and body hair and infertility.

Last month, the vocalist shared a screenshot of TikTok's search bar, which read, "Bebe Rexha weight", alongside the tweet: "Seeing that search bar is so upsetting. I'm not mad cause it's true. I did gain weight. But it just 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'm working on myself everyday. Just discouraged a bit right now. I'm working on myself everyday. Just discouraged a bit right now."
This comes after Bebe tearfully confessed she was the "heaviest I have ever been" and felt "disgusting in my own body".
(Getty Images for JBL)"I weighed myself just now, and I don't feel comfortable sharing the weight because I feel embarrassed," Rexha admitted on TikTok.
"I don't feel good in my skin, and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post. And that's really honestly the reason I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to.
"I think all the body positivity that stems from me is probably a place of hurt and confusion of like, I don't know how to help myself anymore or how to love myself."
