Bebe Rexha is standing up against body shaming after facing criticism for her outfit at the 2025 Met Gala—and she also opened up about a deeply personal and painful experience: a recent pregnancy loss. The singer wore a bold and dramatic tulle gown by Christian Siriano to the event, but not everyone was kind about her look. One of her harshest critics was fellow artist Azealia Banks, who made some sharp and insensitive comments about Bebe’s appearance.
Amid the backlash, Bebe revealed that she has been quietly struggling with severe emotional pain, including a miscarriage she hadn’t shared with the public before. On May 6, she posted on X (formerly Twitter) to express her frustration with ongoing comments about her weight. She also explained that she has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects many women and can cause infertility and weight changes.
“I’m so tired of people commenting on my weight,” Bebe wrote. “I have PCOS and struggle with infertility.”
Then, she shared the heartbreaking truth that she had recently been pregnant but lost the baby—a loss she had been carrying in silence. Bebe said she didn’t owe anyone this personal information but hoped that by sharing it, people might think twice before making harsh judgments about someone else’s body.
“I got pregnant, and it didn’t work out, and I’ve been carrying that pain in silence. I never owed anyone that truth, but maybe now you’ll think twice before commenting on anyone’s body,” she said.
The singer’s post was a direct response to Azealia Banks’ hurtful tweets, where Banks mocked Bebe’s appearance by comparing it to the side effects of hormonal birth control. Bebe quoted Banks’ tweet and responded with strong words, encouraging her to seek help and healing, saying, “Lexapro worked great for me. Something that helps with the deep-rooted sadness and chaos you keep projecting. Healing looks good on everyone. Try it.”
In a follow-up message, Bebe thanked her fans for their support and wished them a good day.
Bebe has been open about her PCOS diagnosis over the years and its impact on her health. For example, in 2024, she shared a TikTok video explaining how a ruptured ovarian cyst landed her in urgent care—an experience initially mistaken for appendicitis.
Despite all these challenges, Bebe Rexha remains determined to stay positive and strong. Meanwhile, Azealia Banks has not yet responded to Bebe’s call-out.
