Xtina revealed the skinny blonde popstar her fans grew to love was phony as she desperately kept off the curves after music bosses freaked out.

During the promotion of my album Stripped [in 2002], I got tired of being a skinny, white girl, said the Dirrty singer. I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.

The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings! Let me tell you, that wasnt an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour [with Justin Timberlake, 31].

'They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect a lot of people if I gained weight -- the production, musical directors.

Revealing the ultimatum, the 31-year-old said: [They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows.'

In the end, the star buckled over fears shed lose it all.

The Dirrty singer said: I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during Back to Basics promos and touring.

Now Xtina is biting back and has told her label to stick it after getting raunchy with her new size in her video Your Body from her forthcoming album Lotus.

She told Billboard magazine: I told them during this Lotus recording, You are working with a fat girl. Know it now and get over it. They need a reminder sometimes that I dont belong to them. Its my body.

My body cant put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymoremy body is just not on the table t! hat way anymore.
