Actress Ini Edo Talks About People Criticizing Her For Body Enhancement
Ini Edo, a well-known Nollywood actress, has expressed her opinions on female cosmetic surgery and body augmentation.
The Shanty Town actress, who is rumored to have undergone cosmetic surgery to alter her figure, recently spoke with Pulse Nigeria about cosmetic augmentation and individuals who body shame women who do so.
When questioned about her views on women changing their bodies and undergoing cosmetic operations as well as her thoughts on people who body shame women who undergo these treatments, she responded.
“I mean, I just feel like anybody who sits around judging people, nobody has a right to tell anybody how to live their lives or who to be or who not to be. It’s not your place. You don’t have that right.”
“And so for me, I say to people who do that, I’m like, you first of all have to be able to dictate the pace of your life to be able to dictate somebody else’s pace.”
“It makes no sense that you have no control over your own life and you’re trying to think that it’s okay to have control over somebody else’s life, it doesn’t make any sense. And I say to women, you be your own person.”
“You make your own choices and live with the consequences of your choices, of your actions. So it’s not anybody’s place to dictate to a woman how she should look.”
“If she should be fat, if she should be slim, if she should be thick.
And especially in this kind of industry where we are in, I remember there was a time when people used to say to me”.
“oh you added so much weight, you should lose weight”, you know, people begin to put all those crazy ideas in your head and if you as a woman, you allow it, it forms an expression.”
“Some people fall into places where they start to doubt themselves and their self confidence begins to dwindle because of the constant negatives that you’re hearing.”
“But you need to grow to a point where you realize that it is your body, it is your life, nobody else has the right to tell you do this or don’t do this.”
“It is your right to say this is what I want to look like, this is how I want to look. Do whatever works for you as long as you’re able to live with the consequences of your actions, it is entirely your prerogative!.”
