Zendaya covers New You magazine, talks dealing with haters

The teen star who has an incredible career that includes the TV show Shake It Up as well as new music with Chris Brown made the cover girl for New You Magazine. The Disney star revealed that she was picked on in school. 'I was made fun of but it didn’t bother me very much because I was very comfortable in who I was,' she said, pointing out that it is just too tiring to fake it.

She continues:

'It’s so much harder and more draining and so much more exhausting to be constantly pretending to be something that you’re not,' she continued. 'It’s very freeing when you’re just like, "Yo, I’m just going to do me!" It’s so important.'

Although she admitted at the time she was hurt by Giuliana Rancic's infamous dreadlock comments - when the Fashion Police officer snarked that she 'smelled of weed' during an Oscar red carpet episode - Zendaya insisted she doesn't care what people think of her appearance. 

'You can tell that when I go out on the red that I am not trying to look like I’m dressing for the reviews the next day,' she said. 'I mean, it’s nice for people to be like, "oh, we liked your outfit; that’s cool", but that’s not why I’m going out.

'I’m going out and dressing in this because it’s awesome and I love it. I really just don’t care if somebody doesn’t like my hair or my wig or my makeup that day or what I choose to wear or put on my feet. Everyone has opinions.'
