According to her, the insults affected her deeply, but after finding a hospital she could trust, she went ahead with the procedure.
She said, “I have been constantly bullied and mocked for my stomach. It affected me, but I tried to stay positive.
"My fat is largely caused by PCOS, but many people don’t know. We should all be kind to one another because everyone is dealing with something.
"I found Heritage Hospital online, and after consultation, their doctors addressed all my fears and concerns. For the first time, I felt I could trust a clinic.”
The Nollywood star explained that her career also played a part in the decision.
She said that appearance is a big part of the entertainment industry and said she wanted to look her age, since excess fat sometimes made her appear older.
“Looking good is part of the job. My decision came from the need to look my age. Sometimes, fat makes you look older,” she added.
