Kelly Clarkson on Life Before Weight Gain: ‘I Wanted to Kill Myself’

When singer Kelly Clarkson gained weight, she gained something else, too — attention. Her body was the focus of many a press person’s camera, and fans questioned whether her mental health was on the decline due to her putting on pounds. But the star recently opened up, and she wants everyone to know that their concern was totally misguided. During her weight gain, she was getting better — not worse.
“When I was really skinny, I wanted to kill myself,” she told the British magazine Attitude.
