Eccentric superstar Lady Gaga has hit out at the apparent fixation with her body image - and has controversially asked why singer’s such as Adele seem to get less hassle for their size.
The news comes following her recent launch of Body Revolution campaign, which encourages her fans to flaunt their flaws rather than hide them, which itself follows reports that Gaga’s label had demanded she lose weight after apparently piling on the pounds.
Speaking to Stylist, Gaga confessed: “I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet – my mum called me and was like, 'Did you gain weight'? – everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care.
“But when I heard it was on the news, where they talk about wars, the economy crashing and the election – I just thought, 'This is fucking ridiculous.' I mean, what kind of example is that to a young girl sitting at home? I thought, well, I don't really care if they think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds.”
She continued: “Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has the set the bar very high for a lot of women. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people.”
