Nigerian comedienne cum Nollywood actress, Chioma Omeruah, popularly known as Chigul, has opened up about how she deals with critics body-shaming her on social media.<\/h2>\n
Naija News<\/strong> reports that in an interview with Punch, Chigul stated that as a plus-size woman, the criticisms sometimes hurt her feelings.<\/p>\n The thespian also stated that she considers herself \u201ca work in progress\u201d and will not allow body-shaming to stop her from doing the right thing.<\/p>\n She said, \u201cI am fat. Your truth is your truth; and we\u2019re all works in progress. Yes, we don\u2019t say \u2018fat\u2019 anymore; they say \u2018plus size\u2019 or whatever. I still use \u2018fat,\u2019 because if you go to school, the opposite of \u2018thin\u2019 is fat.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHowever, I now realise that I\u2019m a work in progress. I love what I see and who I am.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not a size 12. But I also know that there\u2019s probably nobody like me, and people can\u2019t do what I can do. If the (acting) roles are not coming because people want someone smaller and younger, that\u2019s fine. But I won\u2019t let that stop me from doing what I feel I should be doing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI won\u2019t lie, yes, it does sometimes get to me. If I\u2019m in the wrong mood, it might pinch me a bit, because we all have ups and downs. But what I do now is, I delete the comment. I go to anybody who liked that comment, I delete and block them too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Sharing her opinion on people who body-shame others,\u00a0 the filmmaker added, \u201cPeople who body-shame or hurt people, are also hurt. They have their own insecurities. That\u2019s why you they feel the need to body-shame people. Even when people come to my comment section and say things like, \u2018I\u2019m just trying to help you\u2019, I block them immediately. If you\u2019re trying to help me, then send me a message. Don\u2019t call me out publicly. That way, I believe you just want five minutes of fame. And, I can end that five minutes by deleting and blocking you. And, that is what I do now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n Chigul, Entertainment<\/a>, \u2018I Won\u2019t Lie, Body-shaming Sometimes Hurt Me\u2019 \u2013 Nollywood Actress, Chigul Nigerian comedienne cum Nollywood actress, Chioma Omeruah, popularly known as Chigul, has opened up about how she deals with critics body-shaming her on social media.
