Rihanna has had it with people criticizing her recent weight gain. The pop star isn't worried about herself, she's strong enough to handle it, but she's worried about her young fans. She addressed the issue in an interview with Grazia.
Rihanna, who stars alongside Sandra Bullock in the upcoming Ocean's Eight, said that she and the actress bonded over their love of hot dogs. A photo of the duo chowing down recently made its rounds on the internet.
But Rihanna's not embarrassed. "Those are the pictures that I want fans to see," Rihanna told Grazia, "of us stuffing our faces so they know it's OK to eat what you want."
Rihanna is worried that her fans will be affected by all the fat shaming she's been experiencing recently. "It's important young girls know that it's OK to eat what they like and that's why body shaming makes me so angry," the singer said. "It doesn't really worry me personally, but I hate the message it sends."

"It is absolutely OK to enjoy your food," RiRi continued. "I love fast food and you are never going to hear me apologize for that. Burgers, fries, hot dogs, pizza, you name it."
Rihanna added, "I am not saying I eat it every day, but when I am on tour or filming, it's quick and easy and I know I am going to burn a good lot of it off."
