Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has hit back at body shamers after a secretly snapped gym photo of her went viral online. The picture, taken without her consent during a workout session, quickly circulated on social media and drew comments about her body.
Nkechi, who appeared exhausted and different from her usual look at the gym, expressed disappointment in a series of social media posts over the invasion of her privacy and attempts at body shaming. She stressed that her focus at the gym was on staying fit and healthy, not on appearance.
“I went to the gym to stay fit and healthy, not for a fashion show or runway. How am I supposed to look for the gym after a long day, abeg? It’s well.” she wrote.
The actress also condemned the person who took and circulated the photo online, describing the act as an attempt to mock and body shame her.
“So someone cannot go to the gym again in Nigeria without being violated? Many of you will carry your phone and take pictures for what exactly? You wanna mock or body shame the person? Are you not mad?” she wrote.
While she initially wanted to respond harshly, Nkechi Blessing said supportive comments from fans encouraged her to take a calmer approach. She added that she has left the person responsible in God’s hands.
Reaffirming her confidence, the actress noted that she is unbothered by criticisms about her body.
“Lmao. With my big belly with pride… Una go dey alright, for real!” she added.
