What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and after Adele’s shocking
birthday photo went viral last week, she now reportedly feels ‘embarrassed’ about all
the attention she received.
What Adele thought would be an innocent photo commemorating her 32nd birthday would soon
come to be the week’s biggest breaking news headlines.
Last week, Adele broke the Internet with a rare photo she posted to Instagram that featured
her major 7-stone weight loss transformation, and for those of you who need quick clarification,
7 stone is equal to 98 pounds.
But after receiving so much interest, opinions and even criticism for the way she looks,
Adele is now reportedly feeling embarrassed about the attention her new figure is getting.
Although she’s received massive amounts of positive praise from fans and fellow celebs,
a source revealed to Heat Magazine that she finds the attention QUOTE “very embarrassing.”
The source went on to say QUOTE, “She admits that although she may now look the best she
ever has, she still gets incredibly self-conscious about her appearance, and sometimes finds
it hard to believe that she looks as good as people say she does.”
But there’s nothing that a little retail therapy can’t fix, right?
The source went on to add that Adele has allegedly been spending thousands of dollars on a whole
new wardrobe of clothes to compliment her new physique.
There’s no doubt this change also comes as a big shock to Adele, so much so, that
the source added QUOTE, “She says she’s shocked when she looks in the mirror, but
she’s really enjoying buying so many new clothes and is having a blast trying things
on – from skimpy dresses to statement red-carpet creations.
It’s like she’s making up for lost time, and she’s spent thousands of dollars.”
Although Adele has yet to speak out on any of the negative commentary or criticism, her
former trainer, Pete Gerasimo, addressed the criticism himself and defended Adele via Instagram
in a lengthy statement.
He started off by saying how disheartening it is to have seen all the backlash from critics
surrounding her weight, saying QUOTE “As Adele’s former London-based personal trainer,
it’s disheartening to read negative commentary and fat-phobic accusations questioning the
genuineness of her amazing weight loss.“
He added QUOTE, “When Adele and I started our journey together, it was never about getting
super skinny.
It was about getting her healthy.
Especially post pregnancy and post surgery.
When 25 dropped and the tour announced, we had to get ready for a 13 month gruelling
schedule.
In that time, she warmed to training and made better food choices.
As a result, she lost considerable weight and people took notice.
Her body transformation was splashed across every media outlet.
The attention it generated was mind-blowing.”
Pete went on to add that it’s no mystery that Adele has undergone many tough personal
changes, and that with change comes a new sense of self.
He said, “She embraced better eating habits and committed to her fitness and “is sweating”!
I could not be prouder or happier for her!
This metamorphosis is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model.
She is doing it for herself and for Angelo.”
Pete ended his statement by explaining that he only hopes people will come to appreciate
the hard work Adele has put in to better herself and for the benefit of her family, and maybe
this needs to be said louder for the people in the back, but he added, “This personal
transformation has nothing to do with ME OR YOU.”
Fans began praising Pete in the comments, responding with positive reactions, like one
user who said, “THANK YOU!
WE ALL LOVE HER, HER MUSIC AND HER TALENT NO MATTER HOW SHE LOOKS!
She is adorable always.”
Other fans wrote comments like, “This is just what the world needed to read!” and
“Thank you!
It’s literally no one's business but hers.”
And not that it’s really anyone’s business, but Adele has reportedly become increasingly
health conscious for about a year now since around the time of her divorce from Simon
Konecki in 2019.
Last Christmas she shared a glimpse of her transformation while posing with the Grinch
at a Christmas party.
It’s also been reported that Adele had been receiving advice from fellow famous pals like
Beyoncé throughout her weightloss journey, and that it’s more about making the right
food choices than anything.
Above all else, let us reiterate that Adele has made changes for nobody but herself and
her family to be her healthiest self and we couldn’t be prouder of how far she’s come!
