Once Told by Her Ex She Wasn’t “Sexy Enough”—Now Kelly Clarkson Returns Like a Goddess After Losing 60 Pounds
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
At the height of her pain, Kelly Clarkson faced one of the most devastating comments a woman could hear—from the man she loved most. Her ex-husband reportedly told her that she wasn’t “sexy enough” to be on The Voice, claiming producers wanted someone like Rihanna, not Kelly.
It wasn’t just a passing remark—it pierced deeper than criticism. It fueled years of self-doubt, emotional weight gain, and a battle with depression that Kelly would later admit nearly consumed her.
But like every powerful woman who’s ever been underestimated, Kelly Clarkson didn’t stay broken.
Instead, she went silent. She moved from Los Angeles to New York City, stepped away from the chaos, and rebuilt. Slowly. Quietly. Purposefully.
Over the course of two years, Kelly dropped 60 pounds (27 kilograms), not through extreme dieting, but through doctor-supervised care, increased movement, and most importantly—healing.
She described herself as “prediabetic” and explained that she started a medical treatment that helped regulate her metabolism. She changed her eating habits, took long walks with her kids, and found joy in motion again. More than just body transformation, it was a soul recovery.
And now?
Kelly Clarkson just dropped a new music video—and fans are calling it her most powerful return yet. Dressed in flowing, figure-hugging ensembles, with confidence pouring from every frame, she walks, sings, and stares into the camera like someone who’s been through the fire and come out blazing.
The very thing her ex-husband once doubted—her power, her presence, her appeal—now radiates from her like never before.
The world is watching. Kelly is no longer asking for space—she’s commanding it.
