Since returning to the Pop sphere, Cheryl has been at the centre of much scrutiny.
The Brit Pop starlet looked noticeably different in the video for new single ‘Love Made Me Do It’ – something she attributed to her body “changing” following the birth of first child Bear last year.
The 35-year-old’s initial response wasn’t enough to quell the various flames of debate surrounding her – particularly as new her track and supporting X Factor performance weren’t well received.
Now, she’s speaking up and out, branding the backlash as “unbalanced negativity” and “totally uncalled for.”
Her words below…
In a written statement, the former Girls Aloud member said:
While corners of her commentary do hold validity, two things are difficult to deny: 1) she factually looks different and 2) is in an industry where exactly that will be dissected.
In any case, ‘Love Made Me Do It’ has thus far peaked at #19 on the Official UK Singles Chart. Time will tell if the tide eventually turns in her favour.
Why do women think that is a pretty look? It’s actually scary
Cheryl clearly didn’t write that statement. The vocabulary is much too advanced for her. She also didn’t mind the press attention when she was the nation’s sweetheart
Wow it’s sad that anyone looks is determined by a music industry!!??♂️
People will always judge people for their looks. This is scary. We’re in 2018.
People need to stop being so judgemental! At this point in time, the negative comments are a joke. Did people forget you are a human being?! Screw the haters and trolls. You do you and Bear Love!!!!! You look amazing and L’oreal is the one at a loss. Not you!!
