In a prior interview with People, Bella Hadid openly discussed her weight and its tendency to fluctuate, often beyond her direct control.

Hadid had previously mentioned that a rigorous diet and workout routine contributed to weight loss. ‘I worked out so hard and everybody is like, “Oh, she looks so skinny blah, blah, blah.” But I think that if you just stick to something you can really achieve so much. I’ve been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day.’
She added, ‘It’s crazy but I think that you know if you set your mind to something I think you can succeed.’

‘Growing up, I thought it was normal that I had this chronic anxiety and this disassociation, crying every day and not knowing who I was,’ she revealed.
She elaborated, ‘Whether it was eating disorders or smoking a pack of Marlboros since the age of fourteen, I’m like, “Oh, this is what all of the kids are doing.” I realized that maybe that was me trying to figure out why I felt that way. And in reality, all I needed was therapy.’
Regarding body dysmorphia, Hadid explained, ‘During that part of my life, I was so out of body, disassociating so much… I was so confused by what people saw of me.’
‘My weight fluctuates and so does everybody’s and I think that if people are gonna judge, that’s the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different,’ she said

‘To have to wake up every morning with this brain – it’s not cute,’ she conveyed to Vogue in 2022.
‘So now everything that I do in my personal life is literally to make sure that my mental state stays above water. Fashion can make you or break you. And if it makes you, you have to make a conscious effort every day for it not to break you. There’s always a bit of grief in love,’ Hadid added, highlighting the demanding nature of the fashion world and its impact on mental well-being.
