Aretha Franklin Reduces Number of Chins
Posted by Bossip Staff
Please refer to pics above and below. Now, it is always a challenge when dealing with such astronomical proportions, but we’ll be damned if we don’t think Aretha has lost at least a half of one of her chins. She appeared to be as big as a whale before, but tell us what you think. ‘The Queen’ was spotted leaving her hotel in NYC yesterday.

yeh, ***** on a roll!
Wow least she’s starting somewhere to get her health under wraps…
Her joints and arteries are thanking her.
I’m still ticked at this silly
pettty woman for dumping on
Beyonce for calling Tina Turner
the “queen”.
Hell neither Tina nor Aretha
have any right to THAT title.
Little Richard was, is, and always
WILL BE the “QUEEN” of R&B.
Leave Aretha alone, Bossip.
It’s good that she’s making an effort to get healthy now all she needs is a bra.
I thinks its SHAMEFUL for Bossip to disrespect Aretha Franklin. She may be in poor health, which is all the more reason not to mock her. Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us, especially those with health/ weight issues. Bossip must truly be run and staffed by mean-spirited idiots. Why else would this site mock an African American musical LEGEND? I have no R-E-S-P-E-C-T for this blogspot.
I think that this post is out of line. Who deserves respect. There would be no Beyonce if it were not for women like her.
No comment on her weight, why does she have on this green t-shirt and purple jacket is my question?
Y’all know Re-Re is big as a house. Don’t be mad at Bossip for calling her out. Fat people always got excuses.
dang those are floppier than what I see on safari
…she looks smaller to me.
I love Aretha. I’m not taking away from her icon status, but if she’s losing weight, it’s a good thing, because legend or not, that weight on her is not healthy.
Leave Home Girl alone.
She deserves more R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!
She’s an icon!
She has lost a lot of weight! She looks nice.
She looks like she had a breast reduction…and she always looks so damn tacky…you would think with all the money she has she would stay fabulous…but nope…not her!
I know that after her damn near cussing Beyonce and her family out Aretha’s azz is not wearing a “House of Dereon” hat??? Aretha is a trip lol…
She’s lost half of her weight….how big was she before?
Anyway, I do hope she continues to lose the rest of it. She never was a skinny person, but this is waaaaay too much. Not only does it look bad, it just plain unhealthy.
@BBC-Afiya….When I growing up and use to see Aretha I would say the same thing. In her heyday she looked ok but was never what you would call glam…..but back then that was ok because her voice was all we wanted to hear.
Chick could belt out a song like no other. I loved “Ain’t No Way”.
no doubt aretha is mos def
the queen of R&B but , and that a big ***** but
cant she afford decent bra for that ish that
be touching her gut
she might even look skinner with a decent bra – ok yea right !
Aretha is finally starting to take care of herself and it shows. Kudos to her cause I want her to be around a long time. Plus I think she just has a better bra on.
ARETHA LOOKS OK NOW
Love the hat.
I love Re Re! I’m glad she getting healthier.
@ MZ_MAG – I know right.
Knowing B & Tina, I bet that hair comes attached to that hat like the novelty dred hats.
I wonder how she came to wearing that House of Dereon hat? Did somebody give it to her?
I mean what? Is it a peace offering? A truce?
All I have are questions….
The real story is her rockin that HOD hat…
The Queen Aretha Franklin is looking very much the role of a 66 year old grandmother.
I don’t think so.. She just has on more clothes..so gargantuos proportions are concealed….lol!! I still me some RE-RE!!!
WELL!!!
Umm she looks the same Bossip
Now dont get it twisted, I do love me some Aretha Franklin. She is the QUEEN of soul. RESPECT !!
But after all the SUCCESS she has and all the money, I think her ***** should get Liposuction and 3 tummy tucks. Just a little food for thought RE-RE
I’m just glad she is covering up dat gunt!
At least she got them puppies covered, Yeah I know puppy is too light of a word when refering to her,, well you know

^^^^^^^^^^^
That’s about right….
The last couple of times Aretha was photo’d in public I was happy to see how decently she was dressed. I’m always a little nervous anti*****ting looking at her ’cause she’s scared me a few times with way too much hanging out. Maybe she’s finally been able to see what everyone has and decided to present herself in a way an older, heavy-set woman should. I’m proud of her!
can’t really tell if she has lost anything.
But I hope she’s working on getting healthy.
All she needs is a good support bra because her droopy *****ies make her look fat.

I couldn’t have said it better. SMDH @ some of these jack*****es going along with the program.
No respect !.

Why so she could possibly end up like Kanyes mother (RIP) just so you can be happy.
SMDH !
can you find a bra to fit them big *****ies!
You know if you want to clown these new kids on the block ,who have basically had fame handed to them on a silver platter,then fine. I got no beef with that whatsoever. But when you decide a woman who is a *****ing ICON like Miss Aretha,then you have crossed the line. Miss Aretha’s resume is longer and more accomplished than a majority of the celebs on your site. I don’t think anyone is untouchable,but i am saying that a certain amount of respect is due to some and Miss Aretha is among that few. Get your ***** together and check yourself.
I heard she was losing weight. She looks a lot smaller than the last pics I’ve seen of her. Good for you Aretha!
…
yeah…go aretha! i havent seen her smile in a pic in a long time. i hope she stays with it
I don’t know what frame of mind Bossip is in but this crosses the line. This post is so tactless, rude amd mean spirited. This is someone’s grandmother. Have some R-e-s-p-e-c-t!!
.
I won’t be disrespectful…I just wish she would step up her fashion game and get some looser fitting clothes! She will always be the Queen of Soul!.
Man Aretha is not God. Bossip can call her big butt out if they want to. She is big as a house. How the hell is that being disrespectful. Shoot I think they gave her too much credit cause I think she’s still wide as outside. I love Re-Re but that don’t change how fat she is.
NO, bossip can’t call her out like that! Where is bossip respect? I am pretty sure that you that agree with this bull*****..wouldn’t want no one calling your mother a w*****, and talking about your people like that! This woman can buy bossip! and instead of tearing one another down, why not help protect this world against a right wing nutjob like Mcbushlin
Yall need to get over your sensitivity. They didn’t call her a w***** they called her fat. Which she is. And my mama aint no celebrity so aint *****ody thinking about her weight. But as long as Re-Re out there huffing and puffing around then she will get talked about. Too bad.
Lou I hope your ignorant azz is not from the Chi as in Chicago. But then again we do have a lot of gutter-born and raised folks like you here. Have some cl***** and respect for your elders you imbecile!
HOW CAN YA’LL DISS THE QUEEN BOSSIP AND YOUR PUNK ***** BLOGGERS.I WOULD BUST A CAP IN ALL YA’LL *****ES IF COULD.R-E-S-P-E-C-T THATS ALL I GOT TO WRITE YA’LL SELLOUT BLACK *****S.
Fat is fat so ***** ya. If you don’t like being called fat loose some damn weight!
