Christina Aguilera To Record Label Execs: “I’m A Fat Girl…Get Over It”
Christina Aguilera has opened up about her struggles with her weight and the pressure the record industry executives have put on her to be thin.
The singer and “Voice” judge told Billboard Magazine, “During the promotion of Stripped in 2002 I got tired of being a skinny, white girl. I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl”.
The five-time Grammy Award-winning singer said, “The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings! Let me tell you, that wasn’t an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour.”
Aguilera explains, “They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect a lot of people if I gained weight — the production, musical directors.
“[They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows. I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during Back to Basics promos and touring.”
But now that Christina is older, she was prepared to stand up to the music executives.
Aguilera began working on her soon-to-be-released album, Lotus, she told the labels head honchos, “You are working with a fat girl. Know it now and get over it. They need a reminder sometimes that I don’t belong to them. It’s my body”.
Christina Aguilera hopes that her new album, which hits stores November 13, will mark a comeback.
