Nollywood star Mercy Johnson Okojie has left fans worried after debuting a noticeably slimmer look in a recent video promoting her slim tea brand on Instagram. Dressed in a leopard-print top and blue jeans, the mother of four showcased her new figure, which sparked mixed reactions.
While some praised her transformation, many fans took to the comment section to express their discomfort, questioning her health and urging her to reconsider her weight loss journey.
A user, Blesin_Omo, remarked, “Is the product working maybe yes, but are you looking healthy? No.”
Another fan, Olivia_amara, wrote, “Not everybody looks good slim. Your chubby figure before was more appealing.”
Similarly, Solistar_industrial_machine asked, “Sis, are you sure everything is fine?”
Some even speculated about the methods behind her weight loss. A_placecallhome commented, “Sweetie, tell people the truth, you are on Ozempic. I said so.”
The debate over Mercy’s slimmer look is part of a larger trend in the entertainment industry, where celebrities embrace weight loss transformations.
In February, BBNaija star Tacha also made headlines for her slimmed-down figure, sparking similar reactions. Other stars like Chioma Rowland, Eniola Badmus, and Warri Pikin have shared their weight loss journeys, with some opting for medical interventions.
However, body positivity advocate Monalisa Stephen has taken a different path, proudly celebrating her fuller figure and urging critics to respect her choices.
While weight loss transformations often spark admiration, they also raise questions about health, authenticity, and societal pressures in the public eye.
