Jelly Roll Talks About Body Image Anxiety: A Battle Behind the Music
Jelly Roll, known for his raw and emotional storytelling, recently opened up about a struggle that resonates with many fans—his ongoing battle with body image anxiety. Despite his success as a multi-genre artist, Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, has been transparent about how deeply this issue has affected him, both personally and professionally.
A Lifetime of Criticism
From an early age, Jelly Roll faced criticism about his weight.

In particular, his candid discussions about mental health, addiction, and now body image struggles, have made him a beacon of hope for many who feel similarly trapped by their own appearance or self-doubt.
