Singer Jessie James Decker cried over hurtful comments she's received about her weight gain. The "Lights Down Low" singer was not shy to show her emotions - or how hurt she is for being called on her weight gain almost on a daily basis.

In a video she posted on her Instagram Story, she revealed that someone sent her a Reddit thread that have members "ripping" her apart "on a daily basis" over her weight.

"It's pretty awful, and I cannot believe this is still happening in the world - that people are doing this," she said. "Yes, I have gained weight, 100 percent. I used to obsessed over it. I tried to stay a certain weight, and most recently, over the past year, I decided to just let myself live," she explained (via Page Six).

This does not mean she's going the unhealthy route. in fact, it's the opposite. And yet, in return, she gets insulted.

"I work out, and I eat what I want, and I 100 percent am 10 pounds heavier than I used to be," she revealed.

Decker revealed she just weighed 115 pounds in the past, but she is so much happier with being 125 pounds today.

Despite behind hurt, the country music star can recognize the fact that it's not her that is in the wrong. The country music star went on to call the Reddit page "so disgusting" to her.

"How can you wake up and live with yourself?" she asked. "I'm shaking because I cannot believe what I'm reading."

She then becomes emotional and shared that while she knows better, the comments have gotten to her and made her question her worth at some point.

"It is hurtful, and I am such a strong, confident person, and I always have been, but it does hurt my heart a little that people are ripping every little thing about me apart," Decker said.

She then began to fully sob and mentioned how she worries about this world she is introducing her daughter to. "It's me and it's bullying and it's not OK. I hope my daughter doesn't grow up in a world where people do this to her because it's wrong.

This could very well be the first time that Decker has gone emotional over negative chatter about her. Since she broke into the music industry at the age of 17, she was already being widely talked about.

The singer hailing from Italy had her life showcased on the reality show "Eric and Jessie: Game On," which she starred in with her husband, Eric Decker. They have gotten married in 2013, and now share three children: Vivianne, 7, Eric Jr., 5, and Forrest, 3.
