The Nollywood actress, however, urged ladies to stop the act of body-shaming each other for no reason, adding that women should learn to appreciate themselves however they are.
She wrote: “Good morning guys. I woke to a comment where a lady body shamed me… that my arms look like Isu Ewura (water yam), Jesus! This arms that brands pays millions for to wear their clothes and advertise their business etc
Lord, I’m grateful,”
“Reason for posting this. Ladies let’s stop body shaming. You body shame people with natural body, yet you body shame when they go for surgery. How do we satisfy people?”
“Just satisfy yourself, live your life, do you and don’t seek public validation for anything you want.
“I’ve been bashed and insulted for flaunting my back, but that doesn’t stop me from doing what I love. Having said this, ladies please don’t let any haters run you down or body shame you with their gutter mouths.
Okeowo added, “Love yourself in your own skin… I have fat arms that bring fat account balance. I wish you all a blessed day.”
