Uriel defends Tacha surgery critics, slamming Nigerians for hypocrisy. She says the same people shaming Tacha praised her body makeover after mocking her
BBNaija star Uriel Oputa has spoken out in defence of fellow reality TV personality Tacha, following backlash over her recent cosmetic surgery.
Tacha, who unveiled her enhanced figure via Instagram after undergoing breast surgery, drew criticism from some Nigerians who accused her of altering her body unnecessarily.
In a fiery reaction, Uriel called out the public for what she described as selective memory and sheer hypocrisy. She reminded critics that these were the same voices who ridiculed Tacha’s natural body in 2018.
“If the world is trying to create a new method for amnesia, forget surgery, forget medications. Just bring 10 Nigerians, especially from Lagos, and let them breathe on the person that needs memory loss, just 10 minutes of breathing, that’s it, instant amnesia, no side effects,” Uriel said.
She continued, “You people are just the true originators of selective memory. One minute you are dragging someone through the mud, next minute you are acting brand new, like you weren’t the ones that started it.”
Uriel challenged the critics to “twist your lips, put them inside your pocket, and face front,” expressing her frustration over the inconsistent moral standards applied to women in the spotlight.
“Tacha, the same woman you shamed back in 2018, mocked her body, ridiculed her every move. Now she is glowing up, looking like a whole meal, and suddenly, everyone has moral opinions?” she added.
The remarks have reignited discussions on body autonomy, cyberbullying, and the double standards faced by female celebrities in Nigeria.
