Jamelia Tries To Defend Plus-Size Clothing Comments... And Fails
The 'Superstar' singer has said sorry for 'body-shaming' remarks she made on Loose Women, but "stands by" what she said...
Singer Jamelia has been forced to apologise for comments she made on Loose Women regarding plus-size clothing... but still (kind of) stands by what she said.
The ’Superstar’ hitmaker was blasted on social-media after saying while acting as a panelist on the ITV show: “I do not think it's right to facilitate people living an unhealthy lifestyle.
“In the same way [that] I don't believe that a size zero should be available, it's not a healthy size for an average woman to be.”
She continued: “I don't believe they [high street stores] should be providing clothes for below that range or above that range.
“Yes, have specialist shops but you should feel uncomfortable if you are unhealthy ... to be available in every high street store, I don't think that's right.”
After being targeted for ‘body-shaming’ online, Jamelia later appeared on Good Morning Britain (April 22) in a bid to set the record straight.
She said: “Knowing that I offended really upset me. Knowing that I made people question themselves and their choices, it really did upset me. All I can do is apologise for that.
“I didn't make it clear on the show that I was talking about extremes, I was talking about above size 20 and below size six, those sizes being available en masse.”
However, the 34-year-old added: "I do stand by what I said. I'm a real woman with real opinions. I get paid to voice my opinions."
And, the Birmingham-born star wasn’t done yet, posting the below photo quote on Instagram, along with a lengthy comment trying to justify her remarks...
She concluded her post with the statement: “I am not some pantomime villain. I am a parent and I am a woman, and I want the best for us all.
“I also believe no matter what your size, you should be celebrated and above all be comfortable celebrating yourself... if you watched the show, you would know that x.”
