Carnie Wilson is speaking out about Howard Stern.��
During her appearance on The Talk on Tuesday, the Wilson Phillips singer opened up about being fat shamed during a 1999 interview on Stern's show, just 9 weeks after she underwent gastric bypass surgery.��
"I went to do The Howard Stern Show and when he was on E!, it was on camera,��� Wilson shared. ���So when I walked in, the producer Gary said, ���Step over here and wait for Howard.��� Well I didn���t know this, but I was stepping on a scale. And I looked up and in red, big numbers, 233 lbs. showed up on this thing."
"I said, ���Wait a minute?��� and I looked down and all I could think was ���Howard, ready to shame me?���" she said. "They purposely did it.���

Wilson recalled Stern making offensive comments about her weight, and even questioning her then-fiance (now husband) Rob Bonfiglio��about why he would want to be with a woman her size. In audio from the interview, Stern can be heard saying, "There's something wrong here... No guy's going to go out with a broad who looks like this."��
"That is so rude!" Wilson replied. "That's so mean to say."��
"No it is not! You were in terrible shape. No man is going to be attracted [to you]," Stern continued, before interrogating Bonfiglio -- and predicting that their relationship would not last.
���I mean, he went nuts, just because he loves to fat-shame, he does,��� Wilson, who is still married to Bonfiglio, said on The Talk. ���You know the way Howard is, always glamouring up all these thin women. But this is what happened, I always get Howard by the cajones. I said, ���You know what, you���re really a piece ������ I gave it back to him. I said, ���This man really loves me, and that scale can just [go screw].��� And he said, ���You know what, I adore you.'"
���It���s like a joke to him, but it wasn���t to me,��� she revealed. ���It was one of the worst experiences I ever had. I was so devastated and so embarrassed. Humiliated really. And Rob went down, bought me some yellow roses inside the hotel. But I literally crawled in bed.���
