Adele Says It’s Not Her Job to ‘Validate How People Feel About Their Bodies’
Adele is opening up about the reaction to her drastic weight loss.
While speaking to Oprah, Adele expressed that she wasn’t surprised about the reaction when it came to her 100lb weight loss.
“I’m not shocked or even fazed by it because my body has been objectified my entire career,” Adele said per PEOPLE.
Apparently, some of her fans even felt betrayed that she had lost weight.
“I’m either too big or too small; I’m either hot or I’m not,” Adele added.
However, despite her inspiring weight loss Adele says that she shouldn’t be seen as a role model.
“I was body positive then and I’m body positive now,” she added. “It’s not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies. I feel bad if anyone feels horrible about themselves but that’s not my job. I’m trying to sort my own life out. I can’t add another worry.”
She puts her slim physique down to hitting the gym to deal with anxiety during her divorce.
“I had the most terrifying anxiety attacks after I left my marriage,” she said. “They paralyzed me completely, and made me so confused because I wouldn’t be able to have any control over my body.”
