Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, has responded strongly after an unflattering gym photo of her went viral online, sparking fresh criticism from some social media users.
The actress, who is well-known for her boldness and outspokenness, made it clear that her focus at the gym is on health and fitness, not on looking glamorous. In a post on her Instagram page, Nkechi wrote:
“I went to the gym to stay fit and healthy, not for a fashion show or runway. How am I supposed to look after a long day? Abeg, it’s well. Una never see anything, attacks go still intensify!”
She admitted that her first instinct was to react angrily to the backlash, but after reading several encouraging comments from her loyal fans, she decided to stay calm. According to her, no amount of negative talk can shake a woman who carries herself with confidence.
Nkechi also addressed the person who took and circulated the photo without her permission, saying she has left the matter in God’s hands.
“You can’t disgrace a woman who wears her flaws with grace. To the person who took that picture, I leave you to God; He will judge you accordingly,” she said.
Rather than hiding, the actress chose to own the moment, joking about her body and reminding everyone that her journey is about growth, not perfection.
“So Nkechi trying to stay healthy and fit in the gym is now a topic? Lmao. With my big belly with pride. Una go dey alright,” she added.
Once again, Nkechi Blessing has shown her trademark confidence, proving that she will not let trolls, bad pictures, or gossip derail her self-esteem or her fitness goals.
