My Wife didn’t intend to body shame anyone

Influencer Marketing Manager, Israel Laryea, has jumped to the defence of his wife, Louisa Laryea.

He says her intent was not to body shame the female presenter.

His post shared via social media started conversations online.

It will be recalled that Louisa Laryea, in her attempt to rebuke Lily Mohammed on her editorial on Ishowspeed getting a Ghanaian passport, used some condescending words against the present.

Her comment on social media was condemned by a number of people who believe she could have done better.

Louisa and I have had conversations about her post that went viral and caused a troll storm and I got her to appreciate a few things – one of them being that there’s one thing about what you say and there’s another about how people interpret it.

While you may feel free to say what you wish, you cannot necessarily control how people understand it.

There’s also how people would choose to spin it to suit their own narrative.

She however explains, that she never meant to body shame anyone.

Unfortunately, we can all agree that you can’t control how people choose to interpret a post.

Louisa further clarifies, that she never sought to infer that Lily Mohammed had bleached or done BBL because she does not know her.

If Lily felt offended, sorry, but that was definitely not the intention.

I’ve also read posts and comments about my marriage. To those people, I’d say focus on your marriage if you have one or when you enter one.

There are also those who say Louisa is ugly. Really? This woman right here at 52 years after giving birth to three children, is ugly? Create a human let’s see how you fare.

Finally to the “friends” who joined the troll or fueled it, what real friends will do would be to reach out privately to obtain some context or seek to correct if necessary.

I’ve never trolled or joined trolling of a friend and would never do that. But hey, we’re all brought up differently, which is why we will always have differences in opinions.

Stay well.

…and to you, Louisa, I love you always.
