Uriel Oputa Defends Her Natural Body Against Online Trolls
Reality TV star and fitness enthusiast Uriel Oputa has publicly defended her natural body in response to criticism from online trolls who have compared her physique to those with surgical enhancements. The former Big Brother Naija contestant, known for her candid social media presence, took to Instagram to address derogatory comments about her body.
Uriel, who regularly shares her fitness journey and promotes body positivity, was targeted by a troll who criticized the firmness of her body despite her workout regime. The troll’s comment, “Upon all the exercises your body is not still firm. You just lose weight but your body too loose,” did not go unnoticed by the reality star.
In a strong rebuttal, Uriel posted a screenshot of the comment alongside a message affirming her pride in her natural body. “THIS IS A NATURAL BODY. DON’T LET EDITING AND ALL SORTS DECEIVE YOU. I’M PROUD OF MY JIGGLY NATURAL BODY,” she wrote. She went on to emphasize that the perception of beauty on social media is often distorted by editing tools and unrealistic standards.
Uriel’s response resonated with many of her followers, who applauded her for promoting a healthy and realistic body image. She also pointed out that such negative comments could contribute to mental health issues, such as depression, highlighting the need for more kindness and understanding online. “Just imagine someone took time to write this (Depression is real) instead of acknowledging the (20,0000 people that have subscribed to my meal plans, They decided to mock.. You can’t mock someone wey don pack her mama mess for years. I love my body,” she added.
Uriel’s stance is part of a broader conversation about body image and self-acceptance in the age of social media. By challenging the unrealistic expectations often perpetuated online, she encourages her followers to embrace their natural selves and prioritize their well-being over societal pressures.
In a separate incident earlier this year, Uriel faced similar criticisms when she posted swimsuit photos. At that time, she dared her critics to share their own unedited images, reinforcing her message of authenticity and self-love. She reiterated that she would not be deterred by negative comments about her cellulite and natural appearance, and encouraged others to appreciate natural bodies .
Uriel Oputa’s message is clear: natural bodies are beautiful, and everyone deserves to feel confident in their own skin. Her courage in addressing online trolls and her commitment to promoting body positivity serve as an inspiration to many.
