Brandy Norwood is sick n’ tired of y’all believing those pregnancy rumors (confession: I was skeptical once too) and she’s now speaking out to shut us all up. In a new interview with True Exclusives, the “Star” actress went into detail about the REAL reason behind her sudden weight gain, why she claps back at haters on Instagram, and more. Check out what she had to say below.
Brandy On Weight Gain vs. Pregnancy Rumor
In her interview, Brandy admitted that she’s gained a lil’ extra sumthin’- which I personally ain’t mad at one bit…looking good Ms. Norwood! But I digress…anyways, the “Sitting Up In My Room” songstress says simply put, she’s exhausted from the intense lifestyle she had to live, just to keep her previously signature slim physique in check for so many years. Therefore, Brandy said ‘to hell with it’ and let her new beautifully stacked thicky-thick body shine:
“It’s funny how people are telling ME that I”M pregnant. Like, first of all, you don’t know what’s going on in my stomach. You can’t do that,” said Brandy.
She then mocked what many fans oftentimes say to her: ‘Oh I know you pregnant…you pregnant! You are pregnant…WHEN is the baby due?!!’… It’s just like, GIRL you don’t know me…you don’t know me, to say that. I didn’t think the pregnancy thing was body shaming. People were calling that body shaming and I didn’t feel that from people who obviously thought that I put on weight and ‘She’s gotta be pregnant.’ …I didn’t take offense to that for years.”

Brandy then explained why she’s taken a “food-cation” from her past diet ritual:
“…It’s been years now. I went on a food-cation because I’d been eating clean for like, 7-something-odd years, in the gym everyday, playing tennis, I’m like, ‘Yo I’m tired of this crazy discipline. I need something to EAT! I want some pasta, I want some pizza, I want some cake…”
Brandy On Why She Now Claps Back At Fans Online
For most of Brandy’s decades-long career, she was presented and marketed to the public as the perfect princess, but in recent years, that image changed too. She’s now allowed her true personality to shine and although Brandy is still a classy lady, she’s also one who will clap back at a fan-hater quicker than they can say “Baby, baby, baby, bay-baaay.”

Quite frankly, all of these new elements that Brandy’s allowing to surface, are hella refreshing to witness. The plastered smiles and politically correct images get tired as hell after a while. In fact, as much as I respect Beyonce’ as the dope artist she is, I wish she would take a page outta Brandy’s book, when it comes to finally ditchin’ that picture perfect persona that’s void of personality, and start letting her hair down, allowing her true authentic self to shine in public. It’s no secret that stage Bey’s a BEAST no doubt, but in interviews, she can be a bit redundant. And besides, Beyonce’ has proven she’s one of the illest R&B acts of today’s generation, plus she makes enough money now, which should entice her to just be like, ‘To hell with it, I’mma just do me, like Brandy!’ But I digress…
At any rate, keep doing your thing Brandy Norwood, we see you!
