Actress Nkechi Blessing has tackled a troll for marriage-shaming her.
She reminded the troll that she’s just another human.
In a video she posted on Instagram, the actress questioned why people think it’s okay to attack her personal life simply because she is in the public eye.
“Is it okay for someone to come at you unprovoked? Marriage shame you. Child shame you. Just like that. Because you are a so-called celebrity. I’ve always said this. I’m not a celebrity, you know. I have got blood running through my veins. I am human just like you,” she said.
She reminded her followers that her 2.6 million followers don’t make her more than human, adding:
“The fact that I have 2.6 million followers does not make me a demigod. Mark can decide to take the page at any time. Will my life stop? Mbakwa now.”
Speaking further, Nkechi revealed that trolls often expect her to stay quiet, but she prefers giving them back the same energy.
“My darling, it is aura for aura. The only thing that keeps me sane is when I give you back what you dished to me. And then nobody sees what they say to you. They only see your reaction,” she said.
The actress then shared a message she once received from a troll, who called her a “very useless person… jumping from one man to another… make she go marry… make she go born.”
According to her, she responded directly to the troll in the DM:
“You give me, I give you, then everybody go dey okay. Then you now run kitikiti, katakata, you were crying because of just one line. But you, you write plenty now. Like I said, I’m not a celebrity. You bring rubbish to me, I give you rubbish back.”
