Brandy is speaking out about why she recently responded to body-shaming comments online. In an interview with E! News, the actress said she did not appreciate the criticism and did not like how it made her feel.
That reaction led to her July 11 Instagram post, where she urged followers to think carefully before making negative comments about someone’s body or face. Brandy said she wanted to turn the moment into a teaching opportunity and encourage people to be gentle with one another.
She added that it is easy to judge someone without knowing what they have been through. “You don't know what story they're carrying,” she told E!, saying people should choose kindness and grace.
Brandy also reflected on returning to the role of Cinderella in Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, which premieres on the Disney Channel July 16 and streams on Disney+ the next day. She said revisiting the character means a lot to her, especially as she honors the legacy of Whitney Houston, who co-starred in the original 1997 Cinderella TV special.
