I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life. But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense,” the American singer confessed. Despite having a tremendously successful debut album, Breakaway, in 2004, Clarkson revealed that she was terribly depressed as a result of pressure from record company executives to stay slender. She admitted to spending all of her time at the gym, to the point that she had injured her knees and feet from jogging too much.

However, the singer of “Subsequently U Been Gone” has since clarified on Twitter that she became extremely skinny as a result of being unhappy, not the other way around.

She later disputed that she had considered suicide as a result of the pressures to reduce weight, as her quotation in Attitude implies.

“NOT THE CASE. Because of my weight, I’ve never considered suicide. Clarkson remarked on Twitter, “I told people had no idea I was sad since I appeared well.”
