When speaking to Oprah in 2015 about her changing figure, Symoné told her that while she had slimmed down significantly years prior, “I love my thicky, thicky self.” Since then, the star has put on some weight and embraced it, becoming outspoken about the need for people to be more accepting of the diverse bodies of women.
“When I was at my heaviest, like 185 pounds, people would be like ‘Are you pregnant? Are you pregnant?’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m fat, get away from me,'” she said on The View. “This goes through all of our industry, just fat-shaming in general. Not accepting of females’ bodies.”
