In the past, the Grammy-nominated artist has spoken up about her struggles with body shaming. As she celebrated the two-year anniversary of when she released "Havana" in 2019, she turned the attention from the milestone to educate her social media users. "I haven't gone on social media AT ALL with the conscious intention of avoiding things that hurt my feelings. But [my] eyes accidentally ran over a headline of people 'body shaming me,'" she wrote on Instagram, per BuzzFeed.
Reflecting on how troubling societal norms can be, Cabello pointed out, "The saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is [that] they're seeking a perfection that's not real. They're constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that's reality — everyone's eyes get used to seeing airbrushed bodies and airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT'S the norm?! It isn't. It's fake." Recently, Cabello got candid about her true thoughts about her weight. Keep scrolling for more.
