Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has revealed that she arrested a woman who took an unauthorized photo of her at the gym, which was later circulated online with the apparent intent to body shame her.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Nkechi Blessing broke down in tears as she shared her frustration over the invasion of her privacy. She also criticized individuals who undergo cosmetic procedures yet mock women with natural bodies.
“This is my body, this is how I’ve always been. I have a six-year-old son. You get BBL and you dey take picture of my natural body, are you stupid?” she said.
According to the actress, she took decisive action to identify the woman responsible and have her arrested. However, she expressed disappointment with the gym management, accusing them of initially withholding information that could have helped track the culprit sooner.
“I later found the girl that took my picture at the gym and got her arrested, even though the gym hid the information from me,” Nkechi Blessing said.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns around privacy, social media scrutiny, and body-shaming in Nigeria’s entertainment and fitness circles, with Nkechi Blessing standing firm in her confidence and advocating for respect of personal boundaries.
