Wilson, a member of the girl group Wilson Phillips, was recording her debut album with her sister Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips when a music executive allegedly made a comment about her weight.
"I remember running into the bathroom and just sobbing," Wilson said.
She noted that "he wound up really apologizing for it because I said, 'Unacceptable. Like, how you hurt me so badly when you did that.' And he said, 'I just can't believe I said that. I am so sorry.'"
Wilson continued, "It's like you lost control and you just really chose the wrong words. And were you really afraid that my fat was going to make us not successful?"
Corgan opted to lighten the conversation and joked, "See, if you'd been skinny, you would have sold 11 million." (Wilson Phillips sold 10 million copies of their debut album.)
His comment got a laugh from Wilson, who added, "Motherf---ers."
"That's how they think," Corgan noted.
Wilson also demonstrated how she was positioned in music videos.
"It was always, 'Hide Carnie' in the videos. I had to stay in this light for my chin," she said while showing how she had to place her hand over her face to block her chin.
Wilson continued, "I was bleeding. I had sores on my waist from cinching and trying to look skinny. It was just awful."
