Adele Dituduh Fobia Gemuk, Eks Pelatih Pribadi Buka Suara dan Membela

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Penyanyi Adele membagikan foto terbarunya di Instagram dalam rangka ulang tahunnya yang ke-32 pada 5 Mei lalu.

Adele mengucapkan terima kasih kepada penggemar yang telah mengucapkan selamat dan memberinya dukungan.

Namun, para penggemar justru salah fokus dengan penampilan pelantun "Someone Like You" di foto itu.

Adele tampak sangat langsing sehingga memancing beragam reaksi fans terhadap penampilan fisik terbarunya tersebut.

Tak sedikit yang memuji Adele dan mengingatkan bahwa ia cantik dalam kondisi apapun.

Namun, ada pula yang menyatakan kekecewaan. Bahkan, menuduh Adele telah kehilangan berat badan agar sesuai dengan standar sosial atau fobia gemuk.

Mantan pelatih kebugaran pribadi Adele, Pete Geracimo pun angkat bicara untuk membela pelantun "Don't You Remember" tersebut dan membagikan sejumlah wawasan.

"Sebagai mantan pelatih pribadi Adele yang berbasis di London, mengecewakan membaca komentar negatif dan tuduhan fobia gemuk yang mempertanyakan keaslian penurunan berat badannya (Adele) yang luar biasa," ungkap Pete Geracimo.

Kata Pete, saat mereka bekerja bersama, Adele selalu mengikuti pola pelatihan dengan caranya sendiri tanpa merusak anugrah yang dimiliki.

"Dia membiarkan suaranya yang luar biasa berbicara, atau saya mengatakannya sebagai bernyanyi! Dia tidak pernah sekali pun berpura-pura menjadi sesuatu yang bukan dirinya. Apa yang Anda lihat adalah apa yang Anda dapatkan. Dan kita semua menyukainya!" jelas Pete.

As Adele’s former London-based personal trainer, it’s disheartening to read negative commentary and fat-phobic accusations questioning the genuineness of her amazing weight loss. In my personal experience of working with her through many highs and lows, she always marched to the beat of her own drum on her own terms. She never undermined her God-given talent in any way. She let her incredible voice do the talking, or should I say singing! She never once pretended to be something that she wasn’t. What you saw was what you got. And we all LOVED it! When Adele and I started our journey together, it was never about getting super skinny. It was about getting her healthy. Especially post pregnancy and post surgery. When 25 dropped and the tour announced, we had to get ready for a 13 month gruelling schedule. In that time, she warmed to training and made better food choices. As a result, she lost considerable weight and people took notice. Her body transformation was splashed across every media outlet. The attention it generated was mind-blowing. Since she moved to LA, it’s been well documented that she underwent some tough personal changes. It’s only natural that with change comes a new sense of self and wanting to be your best possible version. She embraced better eating habits and committed to her fitness and “is sweating”! I could not be prouder or happier for her! This metamorphosis is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model. She is doing it for herself and for Angelo. My hope is that people appreciate the hard work that Adele has done to improve herself for the benefit to her and her family only. She did not lose the weight to make others feel bad about themselves. This personal transformation has nothing to do with me or you. It’s about Adele and how she wants to live her life. She has not changed from the Adele we grew up with and have loved. There is just a little less of her to go around. Just think, now that she is more fit and more fabulous, she might tour again! WIN-WIN!!!! #adele #fabulous #strong #songbird #transformation #powerful #voice #love #rumorhasit #pt
