Bebe Rexha hit a major milestone earlier this year when she became the longest charting female on not one but two Billboard charts, Hot Country and Dance/Electronic (and for Dance/Electronic that was at #1). Fantastic, right? But sadly she?s in the headlines for a different long charting story: that most of the suggestions for her in the TikTok search bar are some variation of ?weight? and ?fat.? This has been a broken record issue for Bebe to deal with, and she?s owning it like she has about her health issues. Bebe recently tweeted two photos, one a mirror selfie with her shirt up with the caption Yes Im in my fat era and another of a screenshot with searches

One of the things I like most about Bebe Rexha is her memorable, sometimes wacky red carpet style. She always serves up something flashy and funyoull never see her looking basic. Another thing I like about Bebe is that she talks about her struggles in an authentic way. She recently shared that one of the TikTok suggested searches is about her weight, which she said sucks but is understandable. In an interview with Gayle King she revealed that she?s been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which has contributed to her weight gain. She also mentioned that she?s faced pressure to lose weight since the start of her career.
Bebe Rexha revealed that she recently learned that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS.
During an appearance on Gayle Kings SiriusXM show Gayle King in the House, the 33-year-old singer opened up about her experience with PCOS ? a hormone imbalance that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age.
The condition can cause symptoms like irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain and infertility.
I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with the way that I look, and its been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS and a lot of women have it. And a lot of women have it and dont know, Rexha said while noting that weight gain is a common symptom shes dealt with. Its tough. I think for me, Ive been definitely struggling with my weight and Ive been struggling with food forever.
She continued, I remember starting out and getting my first record deal, they kind of put it in my head and they said to me when I first got signed, Are you ready to get into bootcamp shape? Because you need to lose 20 lbs. in order to do this career. Like you have to lose weight.'

I feel for Bebe because it sounds like she?s faced both internal and external pressure to change how her body looks for several years. This is a familiar feeling for me personally, and most days I dont want to look at myself in the mirror at all. So many women feel this pressure to change their bodies to fit a thin ideal. Even if we dont get told ?you need to lose 20 lbs,? some research suggests that women in larger bodies are paid up to 10% less than their thinner peers. Its disappointing that someone as talented as Bebe could still be reduced to her appearance. But its not surprising. It must have been a crushing thing for Bebe to hear when she was starting out. What she needed as a budding singer and songwriter was support, not judgment. It?s also short-sighted and dumb for industry execs to try to make all their pop stars conform to a thin ideal.
Bebe?s story shows that so many factors influence a person?s weight. And not all of them are in our control. The causes of PCOS remain unknown, so getting effective treatment is often easier said than done. I like that Bebe is being so open about what shes going through and raising awareness about PCOS. Still, it sounds exasperating for her to deal with negativity about her body over and over. Bebe is currently headlining a tour around the US and I hope she feels the love from fans who come out to her shows. And I hope she continues to wear flashy, wacky outfits.
