Kelly Clarkson Has Amazing Response To Person Who Calls Her ‘Fat’ On Twitter
Kelly Clarkson shut down a Twitter user who called her “fat” on the social media site on Tuesday night.
After Clarkson tweeted a patriotic and humble message in celebration of America’s Independence Day, Twitter user @Euger23 trolled the Grammy-winning singer by blatantly fat-shaming her. “You’re fat,” @Euger23 wrote.
But instead of calling out @Euger23 for his insensitive comment, the new “Voice” coach kept her cool and handled the situation like a pro. “… And still … awesome,” the “Stronger” hitmaker replied.

Clarkson has often been criticized over her weight, so instances like these aren’t new to her. “I love how people think that’s new,” Clarkson said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in June 2015, a couple of months after British media personality Katie Hopkins publicly shamed her for not being thinner. “Like, welcome to the past 13 years!”
Clarkson revealed in the same interview that she was considered “the biggest girl” when she competed in the inaugural season of “American Idol” in 2002. “I wasn’t big, but people would call me big,” the singer recalled. “People are like, ‘I'm so sorry that lady in London was so mean to you.’ And I’m like, ‘Are you serious?’ Like, get in line!”
While criticism over her weight doesn’t affect her that much, Clarkson admitted that her feelings get hurt when it’s others who feel bad about themselves. “I think what hurts my feelings … is when I’ll have a meet and greet after the show and a girl whose, like, bigger than me will be in the meet and greet and be like, ‘Oh, God! If they think you’re big I must be so fat to them,’” said Clarkson. “[But I’m like], you just are who you are. We are who we are — whatever size. It doesn’t mean that we’re gonna be that forever.”
“That’s the thing!” Clarkson continued. “Sometimes we’re more fit. Like, especially me. I’m such a creative person that I yo-yo. Sometimes I’m more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore. And then sometimes I don’t and I’m like, ‘I’d rather have wine.’”
When asked why she thinks people look at her weight as a big deal, Clarkson told Redbook magazine: “I don’t obsess about my weight which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it.”
