Rexha, who wears a size 6-8, defended herself, and all women who wear a size 8 and up, in the second half of her video. “You’re saying all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and that they cannot wear your dresses. So to all the people who said I’m thick and I can’t wear your dress, f—k you, I don’t want to wear your f—g dresses.”

Lovato is along time body positivity activist, and she often turns to social media toshare her journey to self acceptance with fans.

“Sometimes when I’m having bad body image issue days, I remind myself that I’d rather live in freedom from my eating disorder than worry about what people think about my body,”she shared on Twitter in 2017. “I am more than a number and a jean size,”Lovato continued. “F— yeah!”
