Dermatologist Bea has shared her thoughts on Nollywood actress Angela Okorie’s viral video, which has been circulating amid growing speculation that she may have undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. The video, which shows Angela Okorie on set, has sparked a range of reactions from fans and the public, with many questioning whether the actress has opted for cosmetic enhancements.
Angela Okorie has faced considerable backlash following the video's release, with social media users expressing mixed opinions. Some have commended her for embracing body positivity, while others have critiqued her decision, questioning the authenticity of her appearance and the trend of body modifications within the entertainment industry.
In response to the viral video, Dr. Bea took to Instagram to offer her professional perspective, urging Nollywood actresses to take a step back and reconsider the pursuit of cosmetic enhancements, particularly the BBL procedure. Dr. Bea emphasized that the BBL trend is more suited for influencers who are focused on showcasing a specific image, but for actresses, she believes it may not be the best option.
In her Instagram post, Dr. Bea referred to the viral video of Angela Okorie as a "wake-up call" for Nigerian actresses. She pointed out that while cosmetic enhancements may be seen as a way to boost physical appeal, it is crucial for actresses to prioritize their craft over superficial appearances. Dr. Bea advised, "Less is more when it comes to cosmetic enhancement," and questioned the emphasis on curvaceous bodies over acting skills in the Nigerian film industry.
Her post reads, “The viral video of Angela Okorie is a wake-up call for Nigerian actresses. Less is more when it comes to cosmetic enhancement. And please can we reconsider the BBL trend? It’s fine for influencers, but when it comes to acting, do we really want to see your curves more than your craft? Are you here for sex appeal or your acting skills? Nigerian actresses, it’s time to think before you enhance. What do you think?”
The post sparked an ongoing conversation about the pressure faced by Nollywood actresses to conform to beauty standards, with many questioning the impact that such enhancements might have on their careers and the representation of women in Nigerian cinema. Dr. Bea's message resonated with a portion of the public who believe that physical appearance should not overshadow an actress’s talent or ability to perform.
