'I feel beautiful,' says Pink, shutting down critics 'concerned' about her weight
'[My] crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off,' the singer wrote on Twitter
The 35-year-old American pop star, whose 2006 song Stupid Girls poked fun at celebrity beauties, received less than flattering comments after she was photographed Saturday in a black cocktail dress at the John Wayne 30th Annual Odyssey Ball.
But the mother of one refused to take the fat shaming comments in silence, telling critics "While I admit that that dress didn't photograph as well as it did in my kitchen, I will also admit that I felt very pretty. In fact, I feel beautiful."
