Now, Brandy is speaking directly about it. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Brandy addressed the speculation about her appearance head-on:
Josh Brasted / Getty Images"Perhaps we’ve been looking for it in all the wrong places," she began. "In youth. In perfection. In approval. In bodies that never change and faces that never age. But life was never meant to leave us untouched. It shapes us. It humbles us. It refines us. Every season leaves its signature upon us. And maybe that’s where beauty has been all along. Not in escaping change, but in becoming through it."
Josh Brasted / Getty Images"I’ve learned that it takes only a moment to form an opinion about someone’s appearance, and a lifetime to understand what they’ve lived through," she continued. "So may we become gentler with one another. Not because everyone is fragile, but because everyone is carrying a story we cannot see. Our words have weight. Our judgments have weight. Our kindness does too. The world will always be tempted to measure people by what is visible. But love has never looked only at the surface. Love sees the whole person."
Josh Brasted / Getty Images"I’ve stopped trying to earn my reflection," she said. "I’ve stopped asking the mirror to tell me who I am. I know who I am. And that knowing has given me a freedom no opinion could ever take away. If this post leaves you with anything, I hope it’s this:"

"Before you speak about someone’s body, before you speak about someone’s face, before you decide who they are by what you see, remember, you are looking at someone’s child," she concluded. "Someone’s friend. Someone’s dream. Someone’s life. A soul. And souls have always been more beautiful than surfaces."
