Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cries I Hate My Body While Wedding Dress Shopping

Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, got candid about her feelings surrounding her body while wedding dress shopping for her upcoming nuptials to Wayne Deuce.

“I’m really loving the idea of getting married but being the center of attention is kind of scary,” Cori, 25, said in a confessional during the new E! docuseries, Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story, which aired on Thursday, December 5. “I wear baggy clothes because I’m not the most confident with my natural body.”

Cori walked into a fitting room wearing a white gown with a thigh-high slit that featured a tight bodice and a long train. The train of the dress was removable, unveiling a tighter second look.

While her friends cheered over the bridal look, Cori didn’t crack a smile. “It just wasn’t what I really wanted,” Cori explained in a confessional.

Back at the fitting, Cori explained that she doesn’t “like” her body. “I hate my body,” she said. “Do you see how I dress on the daily? I wear big clothes so people can’t see how I naturally look.”

Cori noted in a confessional that she sometimes feels like “an outcast.” Cori, who has been candid about her diagnosis with Lupus, added, “I am the bigger friend. I am the chocolate friend. I am the sick friend.”

“It reminded me, like, OK, that’s why I don’t go shopping and that’s why I do dress the way that I do dress because I don’t like feeling like this when I put clothes on,” she continued.

While wiping tears from her eyes at the fitting, Cori told her friends that she was just “having a moment.” She explained, “I just don’t like how my body looks in this.”

Cori, who accepted a proposal from Wayne in November 2022, continued to get emotional as she looked at herself in the mirror.

“My dress, it’s not making me feel safe or sexy,” she said in a confessional. “I think what probably makes me feel that way too is that all my friends, they little. I’m on the heavier side.”

She added, “The truth is I’m battling with myself everyday. It’s just so weird to me that Wayne got on one knee and sometimes I be like, ‘Why?’ Like, ‘Why do you love me this much? What are you seeing?’ I think trying on the dress kind of brought me back to that place.”

Things changed course when her friends embraced her and praised her for being “so beautiful” — and Cori began to smile.

As the pair counted down to their nuptials, Cori and Wayne were seen checking things off their wedding to-do list. (The couple’s plans for their nuptials hit a roadblock in January after she suffered from a stroke. Since the health scare, she has been recovering with the help of Wayne.)

Before dress shopping with her pals, Cori opened up about her previous mental health battle while discussing the origin of her and Wayne’s cosmetic company, Choc Factory.

Wayne explained that the pair began the company during COVID-19 to get them “out of [a] dark place, especially Cori.” Cori, for her part, explained that she has “always been depressed” since she was “a little girl.”

“I’ve always been [like], ‘Why me?’” Cori explained in a confessional. “Just being young and sick with Lupus, it was hard. Going to the doctors all the time, taking a bunch of medications. So once COVID hit, I just was in a dark, deep space. I was in a mental facility because I tried to commit suicide, I think, in 2021.”

While navigating her mental health, Cori gushed that she’s “so lucky” to have Wayne by her side.

“But still, we are all going through something. It will be OK. And it does come with time,” she said. “I feel like when we are in a certain space or place, it feels like the end of the world.”

Cori explained that the idea for the Choc Factory stemmed from the difficult period in her life. “I was like, ‘OK girl, you gotta get out of this s–t.’ So I looked online, like, hobbies, right? And then lip gloss making came up,” she said. “I was like, ‘Ooh, I love a lipgloss moment.’ I’m like, ‘That’ll be bomb. Let’s do that.’”

Snoop (real name Calvin Broadus) and his wife, Shante Broadus, welcomed Cori in 1999. The pair, who tied the knot in 1997, previously welcomed son Cordé five years earlier. (Snoop is also dad to son Julian, born in 1998, whom he shares with Laurie Holmond.)
