Countless times, the actor and singer has shared Instagram postsand telling people to be kinder. While she would note on the platform that she doesn’t care what others think of her appearance, a different story was playing out behind the scenes.

And obviously, people just ran with it,” she said in an episode of Apple TV+’s “Dear…” “It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down. I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus.”“I lied. I would go online and I would post a picture of myself and I would say, ‘It doesn’t matter.
