Lady Gaga posts near-nude photos to prove she’s not fat

WASHINGTON – Lady Gaga is fighting back against criticism that she’s overweight.

After pictures of her looking a little pudgy circulated on the Internet, the 26-year-old pop star posted on her official website recent photos of herself in a bra and underwear.

At least one photo is captioned, “Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15.”

In a recent radio interview, Gaga said she gained close to 25 pounds and was on a diet. E! says the singer hopes to turn the attacks on her figure into something good by telling her fans to celebrate their flaws. Two of the photos feature captions that she’s joining “the body revolution” “to inspire bravery.”
