The singer claims chiefs panicked when she allowed her frame to fatten up in 2002, prompting them to unsubtly push her into shifting 15 pounds.
She says they warned her that her career would suffer if she didn’t slim down – and by 2006, she was at her lightest. Christina – who recently opened up about her new fuller physique – revealed: “During the promotion of my album Stripped, 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. “The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercing! Let me tell you, that wasn’t an easy pill for them to swallow.
“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 affect a lot of people if I gained weight – the production, musical directors. “(They claimed) people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows.
