Gabrielle was branded one of the “fattest girls in pop” at the height of her success.
The 51-year-old singer wishes she’d been kinder to herself when she was younger because she used to say “awful things” to ease the pain of other people’s jibes and it’s taken her a long time to feel it is “OK to be” herself.
She told The Big Issue magazine: “When I entered the music industry I became really self-deprecating.
“I once opened up a newspaper and it had an article about the five fattest girls in pop – I was one of them and so was Geri Halliwell, who’s teeny weeny weeny. No wonder people had eating disorders.

Saweetie has confirmed her elevator fight with ex-boyfriend Quavo wasn t what led to their split.
Surveillance video of the altercation between the couple, who called it quits in February, was recently obtained by TMZ, prompting speculation that the argument led to the break-up, but the singer insisted that s not the case.
Breaking her silence on the footage, Saweetie told Page Six: This unfortunate incident happened a year ago.
She went on: While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship.
Explaining: We have both since moved on, the rapper requested: I kindly ask that everyone respect my privacy during this time.
The couple tied the knot at their home in Atlanta on Saturday. We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate, but we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID, Mai, who co-hosts U.S. daytime show The Real, told Vogue. After Jeezy‘s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife, she went on, explaining: So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.
