Being a contestant on American Idol more than 10 years ago put Carrie Underwood up for a lot of criticism from online bullies. Carrie tells US Weekly she was a little heavier than she is now during her time on American Idol, “That was the first time I was exposed to the public talking about me, so it was impossible not to look and see what they were saying. Apparently I was fat. Of course I wasn’t, but sometimes words people chose are not the nicest.”
