The horror film “Antebellum” that was written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz is based on successful Black author Veronica Henley played by Janelle Monáe.

Aside from her acting talent, Sidibe's amazing weight transformation has also become a head-turner.

Sidibe plays Dawn in the film and during an interview, the actress spoke about how the movie fits into the broader landscape of nationwide discussions saying:

“'Antebellum' [is being released] right when we need it the most [...] It’s saying, 'We do not have to put up with this, we won't put up with it, and you can either get with us or get lost.'"

Aside from her acting talent, Sidibe's amazing weight transformation has also become a head-turner. Reports say the actress had laparoscopic bariatric surgery to reduce her stomach size.

In her memoir, "This Is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare," Sidibe wrote that the surgery wasn't an easy way out or a cheating mechanism, but it was essential for her weight loss journey.

Her fans were stunned by her transformation and they stormed the comment section with congratulatory and supportive messages after she posted a picture on her Instagram.

Surprisingly, the "Empire" star isn't a fan of the congratulatory messages. During an interview, Sidibe expressed that she is not a fan of strangers commenting on her transformation.

The 37-year-old addressed the comments, calling them annoying and ill-placed, and explicitly saying her body will always be hers, and anyone besides her has nothing to do with her body.

During another interview, she opened up saying she had been conditioned to believe that she was ugly her entire life. Sidibe affirmed that she was beautiful, but she just wasn't convinced people who called her beautiful believed she was.
