Beatrice Egli Says She Faced 'Brutal' Bodyshaming

The interview highlights how public appearance policing can shape a performer's mental health.

Overview

  • Egli said Wednesday in Urs Gredig's TV interview that she experienced bodyshaming "on a brutal level" and has been judged repeatedly for her appearance.
  • She insisted her body is healthy and told the program there is "absolutely nothing wrong" with it despite public criticism.
  • Egli called self-acceptance a lifelong process and said she now tries to be her "own best friend" in how she treats herself.
  • She warned that bodies change over time and said she expects renewed public judgment as she ages, which she ties to wider social beauty norms.
  • Those comments came as Egli has paused her schlager show and announced a professional break that she describes as a time for self-care and reflection.
