As previously reported, Carrie Underwood recently opened up about experiencing body-shaming while on 'American Idol' and confessed that she really struggled to cope with the mean remarks she received:

"Back when I was on American Idol, I was a bit heavier than I am now. That was the first time I was exposed to the public talking about me, so it was impossible not to look online and see what they were saying. Apparently I was fat. Of course I wasn't, but sometimes words people choose are not the nicest."
