“They tried to break me, but I became stronger!” Sidibe opens up about her journey through body-shaming and self-discovery. Once laughed at as an obese actress, little did they know she would emerge as a hottie one day! 😲 Those who once bullied her might want to reconsider their words now! 😏 Check out her new photos shared in this article! 👇👇👇

Few are aware that this exceptional dark-skinned Afro-American actress rose to fame shortly after the release of “Precious” in 2009, earning herself a well-deserved Oscar for her iconic role. Despite her incredible talent and professionalism, the legendary film star regularly faces harsh criticism and judgment from the international community, predominantly linked to her appearance and weight.

Not widely known is the fact that the iconic movie star battles bulimia, weighing an astonishing 200 kilos. Sidibe frequently grapples with depression and anxiety due to her insecurities and the hurtful words of others.

Recently, a new term has emerged in connection with this type of shaming, coined “fat-shaming.” Particularly after scenes in which she appeared half-naked in movies, the number of her haters dramatically increased.

She has bravely admitted that others’ disbelief and criticism not only failed to break her but made her stronger. Eventually, she embarked on a weight loss journey through regular gym training and adopting healthier eating habits.

In 2016, she underwent surgery due to health issues, with a part of her stomach removed, significantly decreasing her appetite. She consulted dietitians before commencing her transformative journey. Despite feeling “heavy” and acknowledging the impact on her health, Sidibe has pleasantly surprised everyone with her progress and unwavering willpower.
