Reality TV personality Frodd’s spouse, Chioma, has disclosed her ordeal of being body-shamed by her own sibling during her pregnancy. During an emotional conversation with Maria Chike on her podcast, Mums Next Door, Chioma shared how her sister’s remarks made her feel self-conscious and vulnerable. Chioma talked about how her sister criticized her physique, labeling it as a ‘water body’ and advising her to drastically cut down on her food intake. These hurtful comments had a lasting impact on Chioma, leading her to make a personal promise. She also discussed her difficulties with postpartum depression, expressing how she felt overwhelmed, isolated, and struggled to connect with her newborn after giving birth.
Chioma expressed,
“I have been body shamed before and that’s was when I was pregnant. It was a personal stuff between me and my elder sister.
I think it is important we talk about it because I hated it.
My sister told me that I had water body (someone who can get fat easily) so I should watch whatever I am eating. She said I would have a big bum and would blow very soon.
Because of those things she said I promised to show her Shege, that I would give birth and not be fat.
After I gave birth, I wanted to be on my own, I was always crying and found it difficult to bond with my baby”
