Christina Aguilera Talks About Her Body Criticisms
Christina Aguilera may be talked about a lot for her hair, clothes or figure but the only lady coach of the "The Voice" is totally comfortable in her own skin. Christina said that despite the massive scrutiny, she is happy and her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, loves her curves.
"I've been in this for a long time. I came out on the scene when I was 17 years old. 'You can never be too much of anything. You can never be too prefect, too thin, too curvy, too voluptuous, this, that. I've been on all sides of the spectrum. Every female in this business at one time or another has had criticism and I'm always a risk taker too," Christina said on Friday during NBC's "The Voice" panel at the Television Critics Association Winter Session in Pasadena.
"I'm very confident in my body," the singer shared. "I think my video works over the years have spoken to that. I've been no stranger to being very comfortable in my own skin. As long as I'm happy in my own skin, that's all I need, that's all the confirmation I need. I'm happy where I am, I have a boyfriend love that loves my body, I love my body and my son is healthy and happy. That's all that matters," she continued.
The blonde said she also enjoys mentoring her "The Voice" female team members and sharing her own experiences with body image and style criticisms. "Being in a position to coach these young girls, is really a great thing for me to be able to share that with them, and also sharing my highs and lows along the way. I'm very open on the show about all of that," she said.
