Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus, says that she won’t commit suicide because of her size.
Speaking to The Punch on Saturday, the actress revealed what she tells those who attacked her because of her weight.
She said: “It is not everything I can talk about but sometimes, some things get to me. I have developed a tough skin over time but I am also human. When things become overwhelming, I have to express myself and pour out my thoughts. Everyone has a threshold on different matters. The way people go about body shaming is hilarious. I did not come into the industry as a skinny girl. I have always been a chubby girl. It is now when I am trimming down that the comments are coming.

I did not come into the industry as a skinny girl. I have always been a chubby girl. It is now when I am trimming down that the comments are coming.
“I know I have not seen the end of this and I cannot control people’s opinions. However, I think it is important to caution body ‘shamers’. The pressure that comes with these things is too much and could lead to depression. I tell people that I can never be depressed, no matter how much they troll me. I would rather put my energy into partying. But, some people cannot handle it.
For instance, the only reason bloggers pick up one’s story is when they notice that a fan has slandered one or made uncouth comments and one replied. Some people then go to the comments section to laugh. They feed on that negativity.”
She said families and society also need to be more considerate because they are guilty too. “Some family members play around it by calling one ‘orobo (fat)’, she said, adding, ” I just tell people to leave me alone. Some of the responses I gave to hateful comments about my weight were not because they got to me to the point of committing suicide.

It was just to shut up toxic people. People on social media feel they have a right to talk to one in certain ways. You need to see the volume of messages I get every time.”
People should free chubby people abeg, all of us must not be skeletons.
ReplyDeleteBabygirl, just sharpen your mouth, when they release one, give them three. Na Dem go tire.
And you in your stupidity are doing the same thing you are condemning others of.
DeleteSo who exactly are the 'skeletons'? Who?
Undiluted Idiocy.
Eniola, I don't approve of bodyshaming. But remember when you were calling some people 'bones'? I guess some people are just giving you a taste of your medicine! Buahahahahahahaha
Aunty enjoy!!!

The more you keep addressing this issue, the more they come for you ma'am.
DeleteSwitch off your comments and stop addressing them!
Stop making a joke out of yourself to entertain them. Look at the nonsense Xmas shoot you did to appear funny. It makes you easily accessible and the bullying keeps happening
Chigurl is big too. Even Sinach. Compare their respects and yours ma.
Work on yourself and carry yourself better!
The hilarious thing is you will see them with their shapeless, obese looking bodies, plastered with a ton of makeup and illfittomg clothing,making fun of slim people and calling them 'skeletons and bones' etc etc.
DeleteThey are crying inside o that they cant even bend down to touch their toes and once they release that sweatfilled waist trainer that stomach just leaps out to rest between their thighs.
No worry una hear? Keep drinking all those concoctions and using fab diets and paying for different waist training...Las las una go dey alright. Eyin cabbage Eba club aka keto gang, how market na????
Anon 19:02, skeletons are shapeless too nah. And rumour has it that bitterness is what eats up you guys flesh. Deal with the black heart first before trying to attack fat people
DeleteYou are same thing with the person you are attacking.
DeleteHow many times will you not 'coman kill yourself'? This fatness has been so overflogged that you must be a 'lepa' by now. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
ReplyDelete😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
DeleteShe should put her energy on something better than always talking about her size.
ReplyDeleteHope what people are saying is not getting into her head.
It's definitely getting to her and that's why she won't stop talking about it
DeleteIt can be depressing really.
ReplyDeleteNow I almost hide when people I know walk towards me, feel like disappearing.
I have an almost 5months baby and I weigh 85kg.
Any advice in how I can loose weight while on exclusive breastfeeding? I NEED HELP!
Don't stress it babes, exclusive breastfeeding is the fastest way to loose weight but it will make you eat a lot while you are still breastfeeding. However, when you stop, you will be amazed at the drastic drop with time but you also need a bit disciplined so as not to continue the habit of eating.
DeleteBabe switch off ur comment section or only enable ppl you follow comment.
ReplyDeleteDont let ppl push you to depression. When they cant comment dey keep shut,take care of ur mental health first.
Exactly, SWITCH OFF the comments section
DeleteDon't mind them
ReplyDeleteWorld people make una free this babe na Haba
ReplyDeleteShes advising herself too cuz she has body shamed slim people in the past. Calling them bag of bones while gloating men aren't attracted to them.

ReplyDeleteWahala for who no be lepa 😂😂😩
ReplyDeleteThis one she is always complaining recently, hope she doesn't harm herself. They should let her be, as for me, I have to love me more and spoil myself silly, doubled what hubby gave me for Christmas and shopped till I was satisfied, never done that before. As for 2021 I can't wait to live it to the fullest...God be praised.
ReplyDeleteDid anybody ask you? Don't you have a journal to write about your daily activities? Mtcheew...abi is it the first time your hubby is gifting you something or is it the first time you are seeing money to shop?!! This one you couldn't wait to tell us complete strangers on the net🤦🏾♀️ Nawaoo🥴🤐
Delete13:37,who do you this thing?Chai you go fear bitterness and jealousy!!!!. Amy enjoy cos na God give you.
DeleteHahaaha I choptas not. Thanks sweet @Dietitian Nezz
DeleteThanks dearie
ReplyDeleteYou self no dey try deceive people, we know you are trying to loose weight but stop photshopping your pictures to make people think you are getting slimmer. That is why you are being dragged.
ReplyDeleteI think trools have a field day in body shaming her and mostly pick on her because of how flamboyant and loud she dresses most times. She doesn't dress appropriately for her size. There are certain cloths that will bring attention to you. If you have a great body then it's a great sight but when you are overweight like her it's becomes a sore sight and almost irritating.
ReplyDeleteYou don talk am finish.
DeleteOnce she starts dressing to suit her body, and tune down her make up too, the trolls will leave her alone.
Please can people leave this talented and successful lady alone. WTF!
ReplyDeleteShe should just ignore and do her.
ReplyDeleteEnoola stop granting interviews or rather decline questions that goes towards your body size.
ReplyDeleteI have never read any meaningful interview about you than your body size.there are other things in your life you can be asked about ,so stop enabling people to insult you
I know some folks need SM or feel they need it due to one reason or another. I was here when FB started and all my oyinbo neighbors were setting up accounts to monitor their teens. Once mine pointedly told me they won’t friend me, I have not owned any SM page till date. I joined Whatapp in March due to church but I deleted the app as the volume of folks calling or chatting me whom I haven’t seen in over 20 years was unbelievable. I deleted it. Live simply, most things including pics on SM are fake anyway and ignore critics. When you can afford it look into Bariatric Surgery (not cosmetic surgery).
ReplyDeleteGbam! My thoughts exactly.
