Former Big Brother Naija’s housemate Bella Okagbue cries out for constantly being shamed for the way she talks, and shamed for everything she does.
The recent event took place after she shared a video of her singing along to a song her boyfriend was vibing to.
This video was also shared on Twitter by a girl with a caption of laughing emojis that appeared to be mocking Bella’s voice.
This didn’t sit well with Bella who sent a direct message to the Twitter user, expressing her deep hurt and frustration.
In the message, the reality TV star cursed the user’s future children. She stated that while the user might achieve financial success and have a family, her children would suffer from speech impairments. This curse, as stated by Bella, was sent with great emotional pain, as she typed with tears in her eyes.
“For the first time, I will pray for a stranger from the bottom of my heart. You will have money, You will get married, you will even have kids but one of your kids won’t be able to speak. won’t have a voice. You will fly that child round the world seeking for a solution but you won’t find. Mark my words today. Typed this with tears in my eyes and so shall it be.
I’m somebody’s daughter and I have a voice. It may not sound like a regular giris voice but she’s glad I’m able to speak.
You shall know no peace, In. Amen Save todays date,”
The Twitter user in response to her message clarified that her intention was not to troll or mock Bella, rather that the post was meant to be humorous and not malicious.
This explanation didn’t stop her from being criticized by the public and Bella herself as they argued that the user’s post, accompanied by a laughing emoji, was intended for mockery.
Bella also went publicly to share her thought on how she felt been constantly bullied by people subjecting her to all forms of shaming, including for her body, voice, and accent. She expressed how tired she was with with the continuous ridicule.
“BELLA OKAGBUE 4 © @bella okagb…. 1h I’m constantly body shamed, voice shamed, accent shamed and shamed for everything I do.
