Bebe Rexha has opened up about gaining weight and struggling to feel comfortable with her body in a candid TikTok video.
Throughout Bebe Rexha's career, the 32-year-old has preached body positivity. In 2019, she called out fashion designers for refusing to dress her for the Grammys for being a size 8. And, just this year, Bebe went viral on TikTok after sharing a video in lingerie in which she said "I'm a bad bitch no matter what my weight" and encouraged people to "normalise 165 lbs".
Now, Bebe has gone viral on TikTok again with a video in which she tearfully speaks about her insecurities with her body.

On Tuesday (Dec 28), Bebe posted a new TikTok with the caption: "Honest update." In it, she says: "So it's the holidays and I know we're all supposed to be merry, like 'Yeah, it's the holidays', which I am... ish. I think I am the heaviest I've ever been. I weighed myself just now and I don't feel comfortable sharing the weight 'cause I feel embarrassed."
Bebe then starts tearing up, and says: "It's not just about that. I feel disgusting you know like in my own body. I haven't been posting as much because I don't feel good in my skin and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post and that's honestly the reason why I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to."
Bebe continued: "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. So I guess this will be the end of the video."
The video has been viewed over 1.5 million times and liked over 200,000 times.
