FORMER Big Brother Naija Housemate, Uriel Oputa, has reacted to Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson rubbishing slimming tea and waist trainers, stating that influencers and companies of such products are only deceiving people.
This had earlier sparked outrage on social media, however, for the Reality Show star who is well known for always flaunting her snatched body and influencing weight loss products, she stands by her words that the brands she represents are efficient.
According to Uriel, credibility is worth more than money to her, and she influences such products with all honesty, adding that waist training has been in existence since 1800.
Uriel said the waist trainer used in recent times is a typical example of what an African woman does after childbirth, and waist trainer alongside a controlled diet works.
She wrote: “Stop Tagging me on the recent blog post. I’m Drama free so this is coming from a place of Honesty. If you have worked with me you know I wouldn’t touch your product unless I’ve used it!!! Credibility is worth more than money to me!!! WAIST training doesn’t work? Why has waist training been around since the 1800s. Why is there still a huge market for it??? Yes I influence but I influence with honesty
“Waist training helps structure the body while you maintain a healthy lifestyle. We are Africans right ?? What happens after African women gives birth ? We bind/tie our stomach right?? Now if that isn’t old school waist training then I don’t know. So does waist training work? Look through my pictures I combine everything, Diet small small workout.. from a size 16 to now. Yo let me continue biko.”
She added, “I can tell you this, any woman who has struggled with their weight will know this.. when you put on a trainer and you can finally fit into a dress that feeling is gold!!! Work?? Let’s explore the Narrative of working?? Is it physical working or emotional?? Because it does both. I can testify that the slim tea from the brand I represent works. I won’t tag them before you say na Ad. But just look at my page. I didn’t do surgery so it must work. I had to speak out because of all the Tags it was getting to much. I felt attacked.”
