Bebe Rexha Anxious About Her Body

Sharing in a TikTok video, Bebe Rexha confesses her true feelings about attending the annual music awards show.

"I am very grateful and blessed to be invited to these award shows, to be able to do what I love. I know that the criticism comes with the territory," Rexha admitted, talking about the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. "Sometimes it does get to me. I am human."

"Let me tell you, right now, I'm not feeling confident," she admitted. "I am so anxious and stressed about going on the red carpet and, I guess, people talking about my weight. Because I'm not really loving myself right now. I'm not really feeling like the bad b**ch that I usually am. I guess everybody has these days and nobody ever feels perfect."

At one point, she even confessed that she thought of skipping the show.

"I don't know if I'm going to go tomorrow," she added. "I do have an outfit, it's cute... I do feel like anxiety gets the best of me."

Thankfully, Bebe Rexha's anxiety didn't get the best of her as she arrived in a stunning ensemble at the MTV VMAs Pink Carpet.

Bebe Rexha Health Condition

Unbeknownst to many, Bebe Rexha is suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

"I went to the doctor last year - and a lot of women actually have this and they don't know about it - but they diagnosed [me] with PCOS, which is polycystic ovary syndrome," Rexha told The Jennifer Hudson Show. The medical condition is one of "the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese."

According to Web MD, losing weight can become a constant struggle for women with PCOS.

"PCOS makes it more difficult for the body to use the hormone insulin, which normally helps convert sugars and starches from foods into energy," the outlet added.
