Reality TV star and chef, Uriel Oputa, has asked those slamming her for being single to leave her alone, as not everyone is meant to get married.
Uriel, who is also an entrepreneur, shared her thoughts on Instagram, stating that marriage is not something to be seen as an accomplishment, which is why she doesn’t feel pressured by her family or the public.
She emphasized that she doesn’t need validation from social media to prove her marital status and that she personally chooses not to share her partner or relationship status online.
She said, “Marriage isn’t for everyone. If you think marriage is an achievement, that’s on you. How do you know I’m not married? Do you think everyone needs validation from social media?”.
She emphasized that she would never share any information about her partner or relationship status on social media.
“I would never post my marriage or my partner’s full face here. Age-shaming and marriage-shaming is so 2018. Let’s maintain this energy and save the lives of young men and women”.
