Bebe Rexha has responded to harsh online comments following her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, including body-shaming remarks from rapper Azealia Banks. Banks criticized Rexha’s appearance on social media, comparing it to the effects of hormonal birth control. Rexha, however, fired back, urging Banks to seek therapy to address what she described as “deep-rooted sadness and chaos.”
In a powerful post, Rexha also opened up about her recent pregnancy loss, explaining the emotional pain she had been carrying privately. She called for greater empathy toward women, especially when it comes to personal struggles and public scrutiny. Rexha stressed the need for sensitivity, particularly regarding comments about someone’s body, emphasizing that the pressure of dealing with grief while facing public judgment can be overwhelming.
Rexha’s post, which was later deleted, served as both a direct response to Banks’ criticism and a broader message to encourage kindness and understanding.
