Actress Nkechi Blessing has revealed that she took legal action against a woman who secretly photographed her at the gym, with the intent to body shame and invade her privacy.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Nkechi Blessing shared her frustration and emotional hurt after the image of her working out was circulated online without consent, drawing mixed reactions from the public.

She criticised people who undergo cosmetic procedures yet mock women with natural bodies, questioning their judgment.

“This is my body, this is how I’ve always been. I have a six-year-old son. You get BBL and you dey take picture of my natural body, are you stupid?” Nkechi Blessing said.

The actress disclosed that she was able to trace the woman responsible for the unauthorized photo and have her arrested, despite initially facing resistance from gym management, who withheld information that could have identified the culprit.

“I later found the girl that took my picture at the gym and got her arrested, even though the gym hid the information from me,” she added.

Nkechi Blessing’s actions underscore her commitment to protecting her privacy and standing against body shaming, while affirming confidence in her natural body.
