Mariah Carey Has Weight Loss Surgery After Body Shaming Comments

After harsh online body shaming comments about her body, Mariah Carey went under the knife for weight loss surgery.

Page Six reports that Carey had a gastric sleeve surgery in October by a highly recommended Beverly Hills surgeon that dramatically changed her weight.

A source close to Carey told Page Six, “Mariah has always been proud of her curves, but this summer, as her Caesars Palace residency came to a close, and then she went on tour with Lionel Richie, she noticed it became harder to dance, and she was getting a lot more criticism from online body shamers.”

After undergoing surgery, the source said that Carey is seeing good results and as a result feels much better. However, her representative Nicole Perna would not give a comment on her current condition.

She reportedly lost 70 pounds in 2011 after the birth of her twins. She explained, “I never weighed myself. People will think I’m a liar but it’s true…I’m a big boned girl, I’m tall, and so I always weigh more.”
