“It is like, you are just who you are. We are who we are. Whatever size,” she shared. Clarkson also explained how she accepts herself as the “big” woman people usually describe.
Other people who mocked the ‘American Idol’ star
In 2015, Chris Wallace from Fox News Sunday and radio host Mike Gallagher ridiculed Clarkson on “The Mike Gallagher Show.” The former mentioned Clarkson could have stayed off the deep dish pizza while Gallagher stressed out how big she had gotten.
Later on, Wallace sent his apologies to the singer. He shared his admiration for her talent and admits that he should have focused on other important topics. The same way goes for Gallagher who penned apologies on his website.
The 57-year-old host said he is the last person that would bring up a topic about a person’s weight.
He felt sorry for the observation that led to his listeners concluding it was body shaming. Moreover, he also acknowledges that she is a classic and talented entertainer.
Furthermore, Clarkson shot to fame in 2002 after winning the prominent talent show “American Idol.” She married Brandon Blackstock in 2013 and became a stepmother to her husband’s kids.
Their relationship has been blessed with two additional children in the family.
As for her career, earlier reports confirmed that she will be joining “The Voice” as one of the coaches. Therefore, Kelly Clarkson is obviously moving forward in the music industry despite the occasional criticisms about her weight. Any thoughts about Clarkson's reaction on Twitter?
