Kelly Clarkson is not one to stay quiet when someone grates on her nerves, and we love her for her brutal honesty.
The latest drama for the 35-year-old centers around a troll on Twitter who took a swipe at the singer for her weight.
“You’re fat,” a troll fired at her, but as you can probably expect, Kelly did not take that jab lying down.
“…and still f—ing awesome,” Kelly fired back towards the troll. Yeah, you tell them, Kelly.
Understandably, fans were quick to jump to the American Idol winner’s defense, while complimenting her reaction to the hater.
“YAAAAS, KELLY, COME THROUGH. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED AND WONDROUS. YOU ARE A GODDESS. OMG KWEEN, SLAY,” said one fan.
“Seriously miserable people tweet others calling them fat. Bet Cliff couldn’t carry a tune to save his life,” said another.
It’s downright horrible that these people are hiding behind a keyboard taking swipes at people they do not like. Like we said earlier, Kelly has no qualms about letting everyone know it does not faze her.
When English media personality Katie Hopkins criticized Kelly’s weight in 2015, Clarkson had an epic response for her.
“Oh, she’s tweeted something nasty about me? That’s because she doesn’t know me. I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me. It’s a free world. Say what you will,” Clarkson said.
That, however, was not the first time Kelly found herself being body shamed. In fact, she opened up to Ellen that same year about the severity of the situation.
“I love how people think that’s new — like, ‘Welcome to the past 13 years,’” she said at the time.
“Yeah, I was the biggest girl on [American Idol], too. And I wasn’t big, but people would call me big because I was the biggest one on Idol, and I’ve kind of always gotten that.”
Kelly Clarkson made headlines a few weeks back when it emerged that she ditched a return trip to American Idol in favor of taking on a coveted role on The Voice.
