Bebe Rexha has long embraced her full figure — and she’s not here for any of the criticism of it.
“I don’t know what to do with my boobies,” Rexha, 37, wrote via X early on Sunday, September 6. “They just got so massive and I hate the straight men in my comments who only come for that but, then again, a girl still wanna dress sexy. Idk we need an app for girls and gays.”
In a follow-up tweet, the pop star acknowledged that certain social media users claim she appears “slutty” for wearing tight-fighting outfits.
“I feel like when girls with curvy bodies wear something tight we automatically look slutty,” she wrote.
Rexha further confirmed that her weight gain is due to her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and “eating too much bread.” She was diagnosed with PCOS, a hormonal condition that affects an individual’s ovaries and often leads to painful periods, fertility issues and continuous weight fluctuation, in 2023.
“I went to the doctor, like, last year and I — a lot of women actually have this and they don’t know — [was] diagnosed with PCOS,” Rexha said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2023, revealing her diagnosis. “It’s one of the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese. I literally jumped, like, 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more.”
That same year, Rexha opened up about dealing with an onslaught of body-shaming comments.
“Seeing that search bar is so upsetting,” she tweeted at the time. “I’m not mad ‘cause it’s true. I did gain weight. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what. … I’ve always struggled with my weight. A bitch likes to eat.”
Rexha was briefly hospitalized in May 2024 after dealing with “so much pain” related to her PCOS battle.

“Two weeks ago, I was in urgent care,” she recalled in a TikTok video. “My doctor thought it was appendicitis because it was so bad, but it was actually a cyst that had burst. Tylenol didn’t work, Advil didn’t work. I was sick to my stomach, the pain was so bad. The only thing that helped me, and I think you should try this if you have cysts, [is] a heating pad.”
Nearly two years later, Rexha shut down further body criticism after one fan circulated throwback photos of the singer at different weights.
“My thought is… My new album, Dirty Blonde, is out June 12th. Available for pre-order now,” she tweeted in May. “You can support me by buying my album.”
