Don't mess with Pink! The outspoken singer is taking aim at bullies and body shamers who have been making insensitive comments about her weight.
While walking the red carpet at the BMI Pop Awards this week, Pink talked to Entertainment Weekly about standing up to critics, saying that despite her rough punk reputation, she is a real person with real feelings.
"I don't take well to bullying. I never have. I'm not a person that will be bullied," the musician said. "I'm not a person that will stand by watching other people bullied. I'm raising a girl. I am a girl. I have feelings and people think I take no s**t and I'm tough, tougher than nails, but I'm a human being."
The "So What" singer added that the critics often think too highly of themselves, which makes them feel the need to comment.
"I think people have gotten it wrong," Pink continued. "They think their opinion matters and holds weight, and I don't know where or why they're giving themselves so much credit, you know? So I thought it was important for me to remind them that I don't care. My life is full, I like food a lot, and I really like to cook, I like to live. I find joy in that, and we're doing all right in the Hart household."
Last month, Pink took to Twitter to respond to users who posted negative comments about how the she looked while wearing a plunging long black dress.
"I can see that some of you are concerned about me from your comments about my weight," she tweeted. "While I admit that the 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. So, my good and concerned peoples, please don't worry about me.
"I'm not worried about me. And I'm not worried about you either:)...I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off. Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake."
