  • Bebe Rexha shared a screenshot of a TikTok that autofilled the search bar with "Bebe Rexha weight."

  • She said that she had gained weight, and the search bar was "upsetting" and she felt "discouraged."

  • Rexha previously went viral on TikTok for advocating for "normalizing" weighing 165 pounds.

Bebe Rexha opened up about feeling "discouraged" after seeing a TikTok search bar about her weight.

On Sunday, the "I'm Good" singer posted a screenshot of the comments section on one of her TikToks to Twitter.

At the top of the comments, the search bar, which appears automatically based on what users are searching, said "Bebe Rexha weight."

"Seeing that search bar is so upsetting," Rexha, 33, tweeted along with the screenshot.

"I'm not mad cause it's true. I did gain weight. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what," she said.

Rexha followed the screenshot up with another tweet, writing, "I've always struggled with my weight. A bitch likes to eat."

She also quote tweeted a reply to her follow-up message that encouraged her to focus on her happiness.

"I'm working on myself everyday," she said in the tweet. "Just discouraged a bit right now."

Rexha has previously used her TikTok to spread body positivity, calling herself a "midsize queen" and sharing when she was trying to get back into fitness after gaining weight.

In a viral video from June 2021 that has over 13 million views to date, Rexha posed in lingerie and asked people how much they thought she weighed.

She then said it was none of their business but added that she wanted to "normalize" weighing 165 pounds.

But in December 2021, Rexha posted another video revealing she was struggling emotionally because she gained weight and said her body positivity content was a result of her insecurities.

"I haven't been posting as much because I don't feel good in my skin and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post and that's really honestly the reason I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to. I think all the body positivity that stems from me is probably a place of hurt and confusion," she said in the video.

"I don't know how to help myself anymore or how to love myself," Rexha added.
