Singer Bebe Rexha told she's 'too big' to be dressed by designers for awards night

Bebe Rexha was "so depressed" when she was told she was "too big" to be dressed at the Grammy Awards.

The 30-year-old Meant To Be singer admits it "broke her heart" when she was told no designers would dress her for the music awards ceremony because she was a size eight.

"Honestly? People are saying you're too big to fit into their dresses. It broke my heart. I was so sad, so depressed. I felt like I was garbage,” she told Cosmopolitan magazine.

The musician explained this is what prompted her to leave the studio and go into the kitchen to record a video on her phone, in which she revealed the intense standards in the fashion industry.

“I was in the studio and I just left, went into the kitchen, and made a video on my phone. If a [US] size 6/8 is too big then I don't know what to tell you ... That's crazy.

“You're saying that all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses ... f**k you, I don't want to wear your f***ing dresses.”

The musician has had to battle with comments about her weight her whole life and even when she got signed, she was told she had to lose a lot of weight very quickly.

She admits she starved herself before filming a music video during the early days of her career, and would have a female creative director telling her she wasn’t losing enough weight.
