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.”
