Brandy opened up about her decision to address body-shaming comments.

R&B singer Brandy Norwood opened up about why she addressed online critics who had a lot to say about her appearance in a poignant Instagram post early this week.

In an interview with “E! News”, she explained that the criticism she faced negatively impacted her and made her feel some type of way about herself.

“I didn’t appreciate that. I didn’t love the way that made me feel,” she said.

She further explained that she chose to turn the situation into a teaching opportunity, reminding everyone to practice kindness since one never truly knows what someone else is going through.
