“You don't even know what I went through,” the That's So Raven actress, 29, said. “On State of Georgia, they had me wear a fat suit. Because they said I wasn't the size they wanted me to be.”

Prior to landing on the talk show, the newest co-host of The View lost a ton of weight in real , which is why she was forced to wear a fat suit, she explained. She also shared that her decision to lose weight came after people frequently body-shamed her about her size.

“When I was at my heaviest, like 185 pounds, people would be like ‘Are you ? Are you pregnant? and I'm like, ‘No, I'm fat, get away from me.' This goes through all of our industry, just fat-shaming in general. Not accepting of females' bodies.”

The former also joked about how different it is for women and their bodies now in the industry. “I feel like when I lost my weight, like big-girl season came,” Symone said. “There's so many big that are now .”
