Christina Aguilera has candidly addressed her body image concerns following accusations from fans that she used Ozempic for weight loss, with some claiming she now looks “unrecognizable.” In a recent interview with Glamour for their August cover story, the Grammy-winning artist, 43, reflected on the perpetual scrutiny she faced about her appearance throughout her career.
Aguilera revealed that she has finally arrived at a stage in her life where she no longer lets such judgments affect her. “I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f—k about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on,” she dished to the outlet. The Burlesque alum went on: “It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”
The “Genie in a Bottle” singer recounted how, in her youth, the media’s constant focus on her weight caused her self-esteem to hinge on “how thin I was.”
She went on: “When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s. I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”
Aguilera revealed that becoming a mother significantly changed her perspective on body image criticism, as the “Beautiful” crooner was determined to shield her children from undergoing the same experiences she had.
She is a mother to two children: Summer Rain, 9, whom she shares with her fiancé Matt Rutler, and Max Liron, 16, from her previous marriage to Jordan Bratman.
