For the past few years Christina Aguilera has come under fire for her recent weight gain, which she used to make fun of people like her nemesis Kelly Osbourne for. Now in a recent interview with Billboard magazine, the singer has recently spoken out about getting Snooki's old body and scoffs off folks such as her label for criticizing her weight.
For the record, the following comments that were alleged to have been said by Xtina do not appear in either the online or printed interviews, but Us Weekly managed to get their hands on a few quotes:
Xtina on her weight:
“I told them during this Lotus recording, ‘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. My body can’t put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore — my body is just not on the table that way anymore.”
Here's another quote from Xtina about her weight: “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… [In 2002,] I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour. They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect [sic] 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 think her weight has satyed a bit thick ever since she gave birth to her son, and what people need to realize is that after you have kids it changes your body. I personally don't think Christina looks bad with a bit of meat on her bones. As long as she can get up on stage every night and give a great performance, who cares how her body looks? Not everyone is a size 2 and wants to be anorexic. That's why I love women like Beth Ditto and Adele who are great singers and could give a fuck what execs have to say about their bodies.
UPDATE: Xtina's reps spoke to Entertainment Weekly and revealed that the quotes from Billboard were made up by the publication and she claims that she never said such things about her weight to her label.
