During an interview with Glamour, Christina Aguilera spoke up about being body-shamed, and how her self-esteem was determined by “how skinny” she was. Christina stated she was obsessed with her weight, and how it became difficult to navigate, as people often commented on how she looked and how much she weighed.

 

Talking about her teenage years, Christina Aguilera said,

“When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s. I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”

 

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a fu*k about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on. It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

Christina Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, and actress, who has completed almost 3 decades in the music industry. Over the years, she has released many hit songs in English and Spanish, including Lady Marmalade, Genie In a Bottle, Dirty, Hurt, Candyman, Beautiful, Reflection, I Turn to You, and Genio Atrapado.

During the interview, she also stated that the reason she has adopted this mindset is that she has “seen so much so young,” that she wishes her kids can adopt her mindset and thinking early in life. Christina Aguilera said,

“I love my son and my daughter so much, and you do want to shield and protect them from the world. But they have to learn their own lessons.”
