The popular On Air and TV Personality cum businesswoman who has been dubbed controversial in the past for several reasons has achieved measurable success despite the ton of hate and negativity hurled her way.
However, early this year, she sparked more controversy when her body was noticeably different. The socialite who was known to have an athletic build suddenly appeared to be fuller with an hourglass figure. Many opined that she got plastic surgery, despite her continuous silence on the matter.
She’s finally broken her silence to reveal that she underwent plastic surgery to try and change her body because she hated how she looked.
This year I stopped complaining and changed things. I hated my body, I fixed it, (best decision ever). I hated hanging around certain people who made me feel small; I dropped them, I learnt to forgive (I still struggle but it’s a journey), I learnt to be at peace. #2018Lessons

While her revelation doesn’t come as a shock to many, her fans believe the underlining problem wasn’t her body, but her mind.
Nevertheless, this isn’t the first time she’s struggling with insecurities. In her book, On Becoming, he talked about changing her skin colour to fit the beauty standard that erroneously claims “lighter is better”.
