Meet our new champion, singer Jamie Brooks. The 26-year-old recently faced a cringe-worthy body-shaming incident from a gossip tabloid that only a heartless publication could muster: they published side-by-side photos comparing Brooks’ “mom curves” to those of her childless fellow X-Factor contestant. Classy move, right?
Brooks decided to take matters into her own hands and reposted the distasteful article to reclaim her narrative. The article read, “Top flop… former X-Factor singer Jamie feels that sinking feeling.” Seriously? Who pens this drivel? Oh, right—Kathy Martin, another woman writing this nonsense:
“X Factor stars Jamie Brooks and Emma Taylor reveal a case of saggy versus perky in their bikini styles. Jamie, 26, seemed to struggle with hers while vacationing in Ibiza, while last year’s winner, Emma, 18, demonstrated how it should be done during her getaway in L.A.”
How exactly is that supposed to be “how it should be done”?
In an incredible display of grace that the tabloid author clearly lacked, Brooks responded, “I LOVE MY BODY @TheBuzz. My curves are a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I am just as fabulous!” Yes, queen!
Brooks later shared her feelings about the article, stating, “When I first read it, I was half-laughing and half-ready to cry. I laughed because I’m proud of who I am, and I work hard to stay happy and healthy, which is what truly matters. It made me emotional thinking of all the mothers and women out there who might read this and feel pressured to have perfectly perky bodies, which is just absurd.”
And it is absurd! The singer has received an outpouring of love and support from her fans. It’s heartwarming to see that when one person tries to tear another woman down, countless others stand up to lift her back up. Brooks looks stunning, and “saggy maggies” is officially our new favorite phrase.
