It's being reported by page
six that All I Want For
Christmas Is You singer Mariah Carey
gave herself an early present.
Sources are claiming that
Mariah reportedly under went
gastric sleeve weight loss surgery after
becoming self conscious about her body.
Now, sources say the decision stems
from Mariah having difficulty
dancing during her recent tour, and also
being constantly body shamed by critics.
The surgery Mariah reportedly had involves
removing parts of the stomach, so
that the person feels fuller more quickly.
So, ladies, do you applaud Mariah for
doing something like this?
Or is this just too drastic?
>> This is the thing.
Mariah has always been known to
wear her little bathing suits and
skimpy outfits and things like that.
People need to understand that as you get
older, your body is going to change, and
nothing is wrong with that.
>> Nothing wrong with that.
>> So, maybe you can't wear the skimpy.
Bathing suit, but
you can wear a beautiful gown.
You know who does it really, and
I'm not talking about body, but it's just
growing old gracefully, I think we have
a problem with that in this country.
It's like people,
look at people like Diana Ross, beautiful.
>> Aging gracefully.
>> I think she's kinda going through it,
but I mean if she can afford it,
do what you need to do Mariah.
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> I feel like for me,
anytime I've ever considered doing
something like this we all go through it,
where we're like, my gosh,
I need to get this done, my arms are fat.
Trust me, I go through it, and
I literally have talked to my family.
And I'll mention it, and my mom and
my husband have both said, did you try?
Have you tried to do what you
can do before doing the surgery?
Have you really given it a real effort?
Have you gone on a proper, changed your
lifestyle to better eating choices?
I hate my arms.
I just think they're super flabby.
I talked about this for my wings.
I've told my mom and
my husband before I'm like, my God,
can I just like get this sucked out.
Then I'd be like totally fine with
my upper body like nothing wrong.
My mom was like.
Have you even tried.
Have you done the [INAUDIBLE]?
Have you done some arm rolls.
>> Exercises.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
The honest answer is, no, I haven't.
I eat Cheetos every day.
I'm not doing a pushup.
I haven't done anything, and
I shouldn't take the easy way out.
I think that if it's obviously something
that you've tried your best, and
you still haven't lost it.
Then I can understand it.
>> I do wanna say this is a rumor.
>> We don't know [INAUDIBLE].
>> We don't know for sure.
>> If this is true,
this is a rumor, so
let's put that out there.
>> Exactly.
>> Cuz you don't anybody just,
it's a rumor people.
>> Exactly, so
>> I don't know who told it,
but it's a rumor, okay.
>> [LAUGH]
>> [LAUGH].
>> But I think more about
saying like person, like,
is it something that you would do.
Would you tell one of your friends, you
know, if that's what you feel good about
go get the gastric-
>> Well,
it's no different than
plastic surgery to me.
But what do you ladies think?
I've been talking.
>> [LAUGH]
>> What do you think, Jeanie?
>> I guess, for
me when it comes to this topic
I'm very uncomfortable about talking
about another persons weight.
>> Mm-hm.
>> Cause it goes beyond fat shaming.
This moment what we're doing
right now if you get into it,
you're really body shaming,
you know what I mean?
And here's why.
We don't know what
somebody is going through.
>> Yeah.
>> When somebody is going through their
weight, it could be a health condition.
You could have polycystic
ovarian syndrome.
>> Yeah.
>> You could have a thyroid condition.
You can be just really going
through some deep anxiety.
>> It's true.
>> Your father could have
passed away yesterday.
You're going through a break up.
Like at the end of the day if you
don't have a medical degree, or
you're that person's therapist,
or you're Jesus,
you have no right to talk
about someone else's weight.
