By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Self-styled relationship therapist, Blessing CEO, has voiced concerns over the rising trend of weight loss among celebrities and influencers, describing the shift as troubling.

In a recent TikTok video, the controversial media personality questioned the widespread desire to slim down, which she referred to as a “slimming pandemic.”

She noted a visible shift in beauty standards, from the once-popular Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), tattoos, and curvaceous figures to increasingly thinner physiques.

“It’s no longer BBL and tattoos or thin waist, it’s now slimming down,” Blessing noted. “You’re not just growing thin, you look sick.”
