Controversial journalist, Kemi Omololu Olunloyo has rendered an unqualified apology to plus-size actress, Eniola Badmus for calling her fat.
Prior to the apology, the Nollywood star who appeared disturbed in a post wondered why people always take delight in calling her ugly.
Commenting on the post, Kemi said she was sorry for tagging her fat but advised that she works towards losing some weight for her own good.
She wrote: “You once told me the world doesn’t need me cos I called you fat and obese simply because of health reasons. I don’t want you to slip into HBP, diabetes or a stroke. You definitely ain’t UGLY. You are definitely pretty.
“Your weight is my concern and you are not the first I’m going to advise. Some of your fans cheering you up are gonna be the ones writing #RIP if these diseases afflict u and kill you God forbid. The truth is that people are dying daily from complications of obesity. I care about you. Sorry I “fat shamed” u in the past. Stay healthy.”

She said: “When will the bullies realize that calling me fat does not hurt my feelings. It’s not about the size you wear but the way you wear your size.”
