Jill Scott Talks Weight

Grammy winner Jill Scott gained 30 pounds and donned a fat suit to play Sheila in the hit movie 'Why Did I Get Married?' also starring Janet Jackson.

"I've been overweight, and I am overweight," she says. "To experience what it's like to be clinically obese - to feel that - it's so sad so hurtful the way people look at you."

She reveals what she had to do to gain the extra weight. "I stopped doing things I love," she says. "I stopped riding my bike and taking walks. And I started eating more cheesesteaks. I'm from Philly!"
