RM “I Felt Like My Body Hated Me”: The Untold Story of Pink’s Loss at 17 and How It Shaped Her $250 Million Career and Motherhood
Behind the powerhouse performances and rebellious anthems of Pink (Alecia Moore) lies a deeply personal journey marked by grief, self-criticism, and the healing power of music. The global superstar has revealed the painful and previously untold story of her unexpected pregnancy and heartbreaking miscarriage at the age of 17—an experience that left her feeling “broken” and became a driving force behind her $250 million career.
The loss, which was followed by multiple miscarriages in the years that followed, led the young singer into a period of profound depression. In candid interviews, Pink shared that this emotional turmoil made her feel betrayed by her own body. “It feels like your body hates you,” she admitted, reflecting on the intense feelings of shame and isolation that many women face in the aftermath of pregnancy loss. For years, she kept this private pain hidden while working tirelessly to build her career.
