Bebe Rexha Shares Candid Video About Weight-Related Anxiety

Transcript

00:00 The VMAs are tomorrow and I am anxious AF. I wanted just to talk about this because I meet a

00:06 lot of people and a lot of times they'll be like, "Oh my god, I love how you're all about body

00:10 positivity and confident." And let me tell you right now, I'm not feeling so confident.

00:16 Bebe Rexha opening up about how she's feeling ahead of the MTV VMAs.

00:20 Oh, I'm very honest and I'm very unapologetic.

00:23 Yeah, the singer didn't hold anything back in this candid video captioned "Anxiety Sucks,"

00:29 sharing why she's feeling tense ahead of the award show.

00:32 I wanted just to talk about this because I meet a lot of people and a lot of times they'll be like,

00:36 "Oh my god, I love how you're all about body positivity and confident." And

00:40 let me tell you right now, I'm not feeling so confident. I am so anxious and stressed about

00:48 going on the red carpet and I guess people talking about my weight

00:53 because I'm not really loving myself right now.

00:58 As a result, Bebe, who's nominated and will also present an award,

01:02 says she might not even attend.

01:04 I do have an outfit. It is cute. And I do want to wear my dress and I do really want to go

01:11 to celebrate my nomination and my friend's nominations, but I do feel like anxiety gets

01:17 the best of me and that's why I wanted to make this video because I'm sure a lot of you guys

01:22 feel the same way too or have felt this way. If you have any motivational tips or tricks,

01:28 please share them with me. I genuinely want to know and maybe you'll see me on the red carpet

01:35 tomorrow.

01:36 Everything's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be okay. It's gonna be a good, good life.

01:44 That's what my therapist said.

01:46 Bebe's no stranger to opening up about her personal struggles and standing up to haters

01:51 who have something to say about her weight.

01:53 You can have your own opinions when it comes to somebody else's body, but keep them to yourself.

01:59 Back in June, the "I'm Good" singer threw shade at those body shamers tweeting,

02:03 "Yes, I'm in my fat era and what?"

02:05 Bebe's tweet came with this selfie showing off her stomach and a screen grab of search results

02:15 insulting her weight.

02:16 I just feel like at this point in my life, I feel confident and I don't really have to

02:20 prove anything to anybody. At a certain time in your life, you're tired of trying to make

02:24 people like you and want to be your friend. I just want to be me and just feel good.

02:29 In fact, Bebe's been preaching about self-love for years.

02:32 As the queen of body positivity, what message do you have?

02:36 Honestly, just do you. Wear that bathing suit. Wear that bikini. Even if you gain those five

02:41 pounds or you lost too much weight or you have the stretch marks, wear the bikini. Who cares?

02:45 Who cares? You're gonna look back in 10 years and say, "Wow, I was so hot."

02:49 Here's to hoping that confidence shines through and fancy Bebe rock the VMAs red carpet.
