From BBLs to bones: Blessing CEO slams sickly celebrity slimming craze

DDM News

Blessing CEO, a popular relationship therapist, has sparked controversy over a new trend. Blessing’s views target celebrities and influencers.

Blessing also commented that in a recent TikTok video, she criticized the growing obsession with extreme weight loss among female public figures, Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathers.

Blessing also commented that according to her, the trend has shifted from curvy enhancements like BBLs and tattoos to aggressive slimming routines.

Blessing also commented that she noted many women are no longer aiming for fitness but instead look visibly unhealthy and sickly.

“It’s no longer BBL and tattoos or thin waist, it’s now slimming down,” she said in the viral clip.

“You’re not just growing thin; you look sick,” she emphasized, sparking widespread debate across social media platforms.

Many viewers responded to her video, either supporting her viewpoint or accusing her of promoting body shaming.

Some users agreed, claiming the trend promotes dangerous beauty standards that could harm young and impressionable audiences.

Others argued her delivery was harsh, and that it shames women making personal choices about their bodies.

The discussion has reignited concerns about body image issues perpetuated by celebrity culture and influencer aesthetics.

Experts have long warned against glorifying extreme body types, linking them to mental health risks and eating disorders.

Critics believe social media accelerates harmful trends, pushing unrealistic ideals to millions of followers daily.

Some believe the obsession with thinness is just another phase in a long cycle of shifting beauty standards.

Meanwhile, others argue for a more inclusive and diverse representation of body types in media and entertainment.

This clash of opinions highlights the growing tension between personal expression and societal influence online.

As the debate continues, another story from Nollywood has provided a refreshing shift in tone.

Veteran actor Muyiwa Ademola celebrated his wife, Omolare Akanke, in a heartfelt post for Mother’s Day.

Sharing on Instagram, he described her as “a limited edition” and thanked her for her unwavering support.

He apologized for the late message but stressed that his gratitude remained sincere and timeless.

Muyiwa praised her role as both mother and pillar of their home, expressing deep appreciation.

He also extended warm wishes to mothers and wives worldwide, honoring their love and sacrifices.

While celebrity trends spark criticism, Ademola’s tribute reminds us of enduring values like gratitude, love, and family.
