Pink Defends Body In Response To 'Fat Shaming' Critics; Tweets Photos With Carey Hart and Daughter Willow At Odyssey Ball

Grammy Award winner Pink is saying “so what” to critics who commented on her body after photos surfaced from a charity event Saturday. The singer responded with a lengthy Twitter post defending her body image and criticizing people for taking attention away from the cause she was there to support.

The photos were from the John Wayne 2015 Odyssey Ball in Los Angeles, where Pink’s friend, Dr. Maggie DiNome, was receiving the Duke Award for her work in combating cancer. Pink was in attendance with husband Carey Hart and daughter Willow Sage Hart. DiNome tweeted a picture of herself with Pink at the event.

After pictures surfaced of Pink at the Odyssey Ball in a black party dress, many online commenters critiqued the singer’s body and expressed concern about her weight. Pink responded early Monday morning with a tweet including a screenshot with a lengthy message to the public addressing the many "fat-shaming" comments.

“I can see that some of you are concerned about me from your comments about my weight. You’re referring to the pictures of me from last night’s cancer benefit that I attended to support my dear friend Dr. Maggie DiNome. She was given the Duke Award for her tireless efforts and stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer.”

“But unfortunately, my weight seems much more important to some of you. While I admit that the dress didn’t photograph as well as it did in my kitchen, I will also admit that I felt very pretty. In fact, I feel beautiful. So, my good and concerned peoples, please don’t worry about my. I’m not worried about me. And I’m not worried about you either. I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off. Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake.”

Minutes after the initial message Pink was tweeting again. She posted more photos of herself at the Odyssey Ball, noting the support she had from her family.
