Brandy’s 19-year-old daughter, Sy’Rai Smith, opened up about her recent weight loss and her lifelong struggles with body image.
Smith sat down with The Real and revealed that she compared her body to her famous mother’s before her recent weight loss, leading to many heartbreaking assumptions.
“Sometimes it was a little bit difficult, you know, seeing my mom dress a certain way or wear a certain thing. Or when she was on [the red] carpet, or I’d see her on set, or anything like that, it was kind of difficult ‘cause it was like, you know, ‘Why am I not that way? Why am I not that size? Why was I made the way I was made?’,” Smith revealed.
“And sometimes I would feel a little sad, or I would feel like she was embarrassed of me. These were all insecurities in my head and, you know, she was never like that, she was always supportive. She always knew that I was beautiful. She supported whether I wanted to lose a lot of weight or not,” she added.
Smith said she made lifestyle changes to help deal with several health challenges. She also credited her family for motivating her and guiding her through her weight loss journey.
