Amber Riley needed to sober up before saying all those things to her Instagram followers, according to People magazine. The 30-year-old Glee star decided to get some things off her chest while being fueled by painkillers.

Amber Riley shared an Instagram video after undergoing dental surgery and her painkiller-fueled mind allowed her to say the things her sober self would never say to her body shamers.

The 30-year-old actress started her video by saying that she would never say all these things sober, so she took advantage of the opportunity and decided to finally respond to her body shamers. In the video, Amber Riley asked her body shamers why her being fat offend so many people.

“Is it because I’m confident, and I’m fly, and I’m sexy? Do my thighs, offend? Does my stomach, offend? Does my big juicy *ss, offend? Why? Why!?”

Amber Riley then started complaining that body shamers don’t let her “big *ss” live. Riley went on to admit what she loves “all colors, shapes and sizes.” But Riley also revealed that she doesn’t find it insulting that people call her fat, because “the fellas” love “fat *sses” and so does she.

Amber Riley then got her Instagram and Twitter feed to bustle with praises for her Instagram speech against body shamers. In fact, her former co-star Naya Rivera took to Twitter to praise her for her body-positive video.

In fact, Amber Riley later revealed that Rivera even called her to make sure she was okay. The next day, the actress kept silent, as Riley claims, per her sister Ashley’s orders.

“My mouth is so sore and Ashley threatened my life if I didn’t shut up today sooooo I’m gonna be quiet.”

Amber Riley and fellow singers from The Voice and X Factor will make an onstage appearance later this year, according to the Daily Mail. Their onstage preview performances will be shown at the Savoy Theatre.

Amber Riley will be joined by The Voice‘s Ruth Brown and X Factor‘s Karen Mav (who sang that outstanding “I’d Rather Go Blind” song on the Fox show). The musical is called Dreamgirls and is due to start preview performances from November 19.

Amber Riley is set to play the most exciting part of the musical, Effie White, who has two major musical numbers “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and “I’m Changing.” The musical is said to be based on The Supremes.

Dreamgirls starring Amber Riley will be produced by Sonia Friedman and directed by Casey Nicholaw, who will also handle the show’s choreography. Nick Finlow will serve as the musical supervisor.

Friedman revealed that before Amber Riley, Brown and Mav were cast to play their parts in the musical, each of them knew that whoever played the role of Effie wouldn’t perform every week.

“The role is absolutely massive and whoever you are, however great your voice is, however experienced and vocally strong you are, you are going to need to rest it.”

Finlow agreed with Friedman, saying that the role of Effie has always demanded the singer to have very demanding vocals. He added that the musical is extremely lucky to have “the amazing Amber Riley.”

So Amber Riley, Brown, and Mav will share the role of Effie, and it was already agreed that Riley won’t play the part on Wednesday evenings. However, there is one exception for Riley, as she is expected to perform on Wednesday, December 14, because it’s the First Night.
