It’s 2023 so why are people still body shaming JorjaSmith?
, might be best known for her distinctive and angelic vocals, but lately all people seem to be focused on is whether she’s either pregnant or simply gaining weight.
The internet has been hellbent on policing celebrities' weight forever - and Jorja herself has been a prime target for a while. The 25-year-old has always rocked her naturally curvy body proudly, but more and more people have had something to say about it. This conversation came to the surface this weekend, after videos of her performing in Paris in front of a sold-out crowd – a 40,000-people-deep arena – with Grammy Award winning artist Burna Boy, surfaced.“[Wait] a minute is my girl jorja expecting???...” says one user on one of the viral clips of the performance on Instagram. Another user responded with “No, she’s just eating to much”.
The ‘Be Honest’ singer has spoken about this in the past, revealing to Adwoa Aboah for an Elle Magazine interview back in 2019 that she used to read comments about her weight gain but she had to stop. “I don’t really read the comments,” she told Adwoa. “One thing that used to happen was, because my tummy’s not flat, if I wear tight things, it sticks out a bit.” says Jorja. “People comment: ‘She looks pregnant.’ People think that, because I have loads of followers, I don’t see things online.
“In school, all my friends were white. All my friends were skinny. I wanted to be skinny. I ran so hard and didn’t eat that much because I wanted to fit in. But now I’ve finally realised that you are you for a reason. You look like you, cuz you do, you can’t look like anyone else.” says the singer on a BBC1XTRA Interview.In today's age of social media and constant scrutiny, it’s very disheartening to still be witness to the unfair treatment women often face when it comes to body image.
