Words can’t bring her down.

Christina Aguilera brushed off speculation about her recent weight loss in a new interview after sparking rumors that she was on Ozempic.

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f–k about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on,” the “Beautiful” singer told Glamour for her August 2024 cover story, published Thursday.

“It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business,” she added.

Aguilera, 43, noted that people have nitpicked her figure since she launched her music career in the late ’90s.

“When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s,” she told the magazine.

“I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.'”

The pop star admitted that at one point she based her self-esteem on “how skinny” she was, something she does not want her daughter, Summer, who turns 10 Friday, or her son, Max, 16, to do.

“Your kids trigger things in you that you don’t want them to go through,” she explained, “and it’s almost like you’re reliving this whole thing again.”

Through tears, Aguilera shared with the glossy that she has a tendency to “want to shield and protect” her children “from the world,” but she knows “they have to learn their own lessons.”

The Grammy winner’s candid comments come three months after TikTok users speculated that she had used Ozempic, a diabetes drug that has become trendy among celebrities looking to lose weight.

“She’s so tiny,” one fan commented on a video of a noticeably slimmer Aguilera performing in Mexico in May, which another follower dubbed the “best Ozempic result to date.”

The former Mouseketeer has not publicly addressed whether she turned to the medication.
