Christina Aguilera Never Made Comments About Her Weight

Comments that are floating around the internet of Christina Aguilera talking about her weight are completely false, her rep confirms to JustJared.com.

“They are fake,” Christina‘s rep said about the quotes that have been attributed to a recent cover story in Billboard magazine.

“I got tired of being a skinny white girl. I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl… [In 2002,] I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour. They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect [sic] a lot of people if I gained weight – the production, musical directors,” the fake quote reads.

“I told them during this Lotus recording, ‘You are working with a fat girl. Know it now and get over it. They need a reminder sometimes that I don’t belong to them. It’s my body. My body can’t put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore – my body is just not on the table that way anymore,” another comment adds.

The quotes were traced by Entertainment Weekly to a Tumblr post.
