Christina Aguilera’s body image has shifted over the years after experiencing body shaming as a young artist.

In an interview the “Genie In a Bottle” singer, 43, opened up about the obsession with her weight throughout her career and how it was difficult to navigate.

Christina admitted that much of her self-esteem was determined by “how skinny I was.”

“When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s,” she told the outlet. “I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”

Over the years, Aguilera says she’s learned to not let what others think about her body impact her.

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f— about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on,” she said. “It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”
