Filmmaker and Nollywood actress Funke Akindele responded to a man who body-shamed her and her colleague Toyin Abraham.
The troll had advised her to lose weight in the comments area of her post. He said it was foolish of her to be gaining weight while remaining unconcerned.
He went on to say that it would be more foolish to not realize that being overweight would negatively impact an actress of her caliber in terms of acting.
The troll added that it is more unwise that many of them think getting fat is evidence of good living, forgetting that obesity kills and causes discomfort. He admonished her and Toyin Abraham to lose weight as he noted how they had changed shape and signature.
The troll wrote, “Funke Akindele, it’s unwise how you’re getting too fat yet feeling unbothered. More unwise not knowing fatness isn’t good for an actress of your kind as it may affect role delivery and prevent directors from contacting characters that need smart, flexible, and fit actresses. Most unwise, many of y’all celebs think getting fat is evidence of good
living, forgetting obesity kills and causes discomfort. U & Toyin Abraham need do a lot about weight reduction. U people have changed shape and signature. Hit gym 24hrs. Avoid junk, and limit excess sleeping. Be wise. Don’t be unwise”.
Replying to him, Funke Akindele appreciated him for the advice and insulted him. She wrote, “Yes sir. Werey Alaso”.
