Nigerian reality TV star, Tacha, known for her stint in Big Brother Naija, has recently been the center of a social media controversy over her fashion choices. It all started when Tacha shared a photo on her Instagram, donning a revealing two-piece outfit that left little to the imagination. The outfit, highlighting her thighs and legs, became a hot topic, sparking a mix of admiration and criticism.
However, the situation escalated when a Twitter user criticized Tacha’s attire, suggesting that it invited negative comments and body shaming. Recall thag Tacha’s outfit has elicited a lot of reactions from netizens who deemed her as having ‘too much cellulite’ and ‘not nice legs,’. The critic revealed that she had opened up herself to the attack by dressing indecently.
Tacha, never one to shy away from confrontation, took to her Instagram to address the critic head-on. In a fiery response, she called the critic an “idiot” and asserted her autonomy over her body and wardrobe choices. She emphasized that she is not beholden to the opinions of others, especially those who feel entitled to dictate how women should dress. Tacha’s rebuttal was a powerful statement against body shaming and the policing of women’s bodies.
Moreover, Tacha’s response was a reflection of her strong personality, which has been evident in past incidents. For instance, back in October, Tacha faced similar criticism for her choice of attire during a visit to the commissioner of police. She had gone to discuss ways to improve policing in Nigeria, but instead, the public focused on her sheer outfit that revealed much of her chest. Despite the backlash, Tacha remained undeterred, promising her detractors that they would tire of criticizing her before she ever bowed to their pressure.
In her latest clash, Tacha’s bold statement, “I get money pass your papa” hinted at the fact that she had more money that the critics father.
