Bebe Rexha pushes back at sexualised comments: ‘A girl wanna dress sexy’

# What happened

Bebe Rexha used X to push back against sexualised comments about her body. She wrote that her breasts "just got so massive" and called out "the straight men in my comments who only come for that," while asserting she still wants to dress sexy. In the same exchange she suggested "we need an app for girls and gays."

# Why she spoke up

Rexha linked recent weight gain to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and also joked about "eating too much bread." She framed the comments she receives as part of a broader pattern: when women with curvy bodies wear tight clothing they are often judged as looking "slutty."

Rexha has addressed fluctuating weight and online scrutiny before. In 2023 she acknowledged being "in my fat era" in an Instagram post. Earlier that year she tweeted about being upset when "Bebe Rexha weight gain" trended on TikTok, saying it was discouraging but admitting she had gained weight and thanking fans who supported her. She has also discussed PCOS and infertility publicly, and once wrote about being tired of people commenting on her weight after the 2025 Met Gala.

# What she said directly

• "I don't know what to do with my boobies. They just got so massive and I hate the straight men in my comments who only come for that but, then again, a girl still wanna dress sexy."
• "[I don't know] we need an app for girls and gays."

She also wrote that tight clothing on curvy bodies triggers assumptions and judgement.

# Why it matters

Rexha's posts underline how public figures who are women—and especially those with curvier bodies—face persistent sexualised commentary and appearance-focused scrutiny online. By calling out the tone and focus of comments, she foregrounds both the personal effect of those remarks and a broader pattern of online behaviour that targets women's appearance.

# Short takeaways for readers

• The exchange began as a pushback against sexualised comments about Rexha's breasts.
• She connected weight change to medical (PCOS) and lifestyle factors and used candid language that mixes seriousness with humor.
• The reaction reiterates a familiar concern she has raised before: online attention often reduces a woman's public presence to her body.

# What we know about her career, as mentioned

Rexha is a Grammy-nominated pop singer-songwriter known for hits like "Meant to Be" and "I'm a Mess," and for writing songs for other major artists, including co-writing "The Monster" for Eminem and Rihanna. She has publicly discussed mental-health and body-image pressures in the music industry.

# Bottom line

Rexha's X posts are another instance of a public figure responding directly to sexualised, appearance-focused commentary. She frames the issue with personal details (PCOS, weight change) and blunt observations about how curvy women are judged for clothing choices, calling attention to how online reactions can feel reductive and hurtful.
