P!nk, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, began her music career in a girl band. When that didn’t work out, she went solo in 1999 at the age of 20 and has never looked back. According to Billboard, she has 15 top 10 hits and is one of the bestselling US music artists. Known for her distinctive, raspy voice and tough, alternative exterior, P!nk has won three Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, and seven MTV Video Music Awards, including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Apart from her music, P!nk is known for being authentic and true to herself. Her lyrics often speak about being real. Not only does this theme appear in her music, but it seems to carry over into her personal life as well. She’s often very candid about her struggles and experiences, and she often expresses her desire to be seen as a real person, not just a celebrity.
Like most female celebrities in Hollywood, P!nk is no stranger to criticisms on how confident she wanted to feel for herself or what she wanted to do about her body. At one point, she was even discouraged from having children when her music career was at an all-time high. It was also pointed out several times that she looked masculine in her fashion and strong facade and expression, a stark contrast to her screen name.
In an Instagram photo that the vocalist shared on May 31, 2023, P!nk divided her 9 million followers online as she flaunted her beautiful physique and the rather unconventional bikini that she wore. Keep on reading to know more about P!nk, the criticisms she received about her body throughout the years, and the now-trending bikini photo.
P!nk has always been candid about the struggles she has faced during her music career. Whether it was a relationship issue, parenting woe, or the problems she faced as a woman, P!nk has been known for her honesty and authenticity.
Speaking to Zane Lowe of Apple Music, the “So What” singer recalled being told not to have children back in her early years.
“Everyone told me, ‘If you have children right now, your career’s over.’ And I think that’s when my career began, really. I mean, I did a lot of stuff before that, but really, truly, I think it’s when I started to really understand myself and understand the world and my place in it,” she confessed.
However, it did not stop P!nk from having the family that she had wanted since she was still young. P!nk has been married to professional motocross racer Carey Hart for 17 years already. They have two children – Willow Sage, 12, and Jameson Moon, 6.
Throughout the years, P!nk has been lauded for becoming one of the very few celebrities who were able to balance being a superstar and a full-time mom successfully. But despite this, P!nk remains a target of discriminatory attacks on social media.
On April 2023, American far-right personality and conspiracy theorist Stew Peters posted a distorted photo of the singer, saying that her hips weren’t “child-bearing” ones. P!nk, the level-headed person she is, took the high road and only replied: “Oh, Stewie. Stewie Stewie Stewie. You’ve got too much free time.”
Others even threw support to Peters, saying that P!nk looked like a “dude” because of how athletic her body was. However, many defended the singer saying that her body was built that way and she was just physically fit.
On May 31, 2023, P!nk yet again attracted the attention of her followers and detractors when she posted photos of herself enjoying her nature weekend vacation.
In the first photo, P!nk was sunbathing in her bikini, but it wasn’t a regular bikini that you would see in the department store – it was actually a transparent one, with a printed bunch of bananas only just covering her breasts. P!nk looked very happy in the photo as she shades herself with her hand from the beaming sunlight.
The second photo shows P!nk becoming one with nature. The Grammy-winning singer let it all out as she showered in the great outdoors naked at the side of her RV. P!nk posed triumphantly, with her private parts being covered by star scribbles.
“Lake weekends and a new ridiculous bathing suit. If you haven’t showered outdoors while your husband tries to scare you every five minutes you haven’t lived!!!!!!” she captioned her post along with various hashtags.
While the mood of the post is actually celebratory, not all comments on Instagram were friendly.
“You practically naked, wat wld ur kids say ?” a user asked P!nk.
Others even compared P!nk to Britney Spears’ unsettling naked photos on Instagram.
“Imagine if britney spears posted this…” another commented.
While some felt like P!nk was too confident, a lot of her followers and industry friends got behind her and praised her beautiful body.
“If you got it flaunt it . Be proud of yourself,” a fan shared.
“Ahhhh this just made me take a big breath and smile!! Yay I played your songs last night in my breathwork class. Love love you!!” another commented.
“Love it! Peeled the banana and took a shower. How freeing is that!! You’ve got it..show it off!” someone posted.
