Kelly Clarkson hits back at body-shaming trolls who targeted Kids Baking Championship star Valerie Bertinelli
KELLY Clarkson has hit back at an online troll who body-shamed Kids Baking Championship star Valerie Bertinelli.
The Food Network’s Instagram page had been promoting Valerie’s appearance on the channel’s app when a comment reading ‘awwww, so chubby’ was posted.
“Wow. Someone is always there to remind me to tidy up my negative thoughts some more,” the 59-year-old TV presenter then shared on Twitter alongside a screen grab of the comment.
“Thank you for reminding me I’m so much more than my body. Have a blessed day,” she said.
Kelly then saw the tweet and shared it herself, adding: “True power is recognizing the projection of others negativity & punching it square n the face w/all the positive, remarkable, intelligent, beautiful light that seeps from ur pores (sic).
“Pity people that speak ill of others because while some of us r dancing, the others r too afraid.”
The 37-year-old singer found fame on the first season of American Idol, and since has open and honest about weight-loss journey and body positivity.
Earlier in February she showed off her impressive weight loss in a figure-hugging, black latex dress as she attended the 2020 Hollywood Beauty Awards.
Teaming her outfit with a pair of black boots, the star happily posed for pictures at the event.
It came after she lost 37 pounds last year.
She told the Today show: “I had an autoimmune disease and a thyroid problem that started in 2006.
“I know the industry loves the weight gone, but for me, it wasn’t really (about) the weight. For me, it was ‘I’m not on my medicine anymore.'”
