I Was Bullied, Assaulted After Cook-a-Thon – Chef Dammy

Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi aka Chef Dammy has revealed that she was a victim of cyberbullying.
According to her, this happened following her rise to fame during her 2023 cook-a-thon attempt.
Speaking in an interview on Thursday, Dammy revealed that she was not expecting the cookathon attempt to go viral.
She said, “My interest in cooking started when I began living alone as a student. Even the cookathon, I didn’t know it was going to be viral. I didn’t even tell my parents about it; they just saw me. I was shocked to see myself on social media.
 
“If you had asked me this question two years ago or a year ago, I might be crying. But now I’m happy I can talk about this without crying.
 
“There was a time in my life I was even telling God, ‘Can this wait a bit? Can I at least forget some things?’ I felt overwhelmed. The cyberbullying was just a little compared to what I experienced in real life. I was bullied, I was assaulted. I was broken. Social media broke me.”

“The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.
 
“Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”
