Christina Aguilera had enough of the press criticisms about her weight gain, and the 32 year old singer finally decided to open up about her thinness that has always been a force imposed by the media and by her record label, and she never lived in a natural state with serenity.

In 2002, during the promotion of the album Stripped, Christina took over the management of her body: "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" confessed the singer to Billaboard magazine.

During the promotional tour with Justin Timberlake, Aguilera gained almost 16 pounds, and the reaction of the head of the record label was very negative. No one, in his opinion, would buy her albums or concert tickets if she had continued to maintain that weight. "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."

"I told them...'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.”
