Reality TV star and new mom, Nengi Hampson, has spoken out about her ongoing postpartum journey following public criticism of her appearance at a recent social event.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate, who gave birth two months ago via an emergency Cesarean section, took to Instagram to share a candid message about her struggles with body confidence and recovery. In her Instagram Story, Nengi revealed that she is still in the healing process and has not yet resumed gym workouts.
“2 months post emergency C-section. Not cleared for the gym yet. Still healing, still learning to love this new body even though sometimes all I have is a tiny thread of confidence. And I’ll take every little moment that helps me feel like me again,” she wrote.
Her comments come in the wake of mixed reactions to her choice of outfit at a recent public appearance. Nengi wore a black dress featuring a sheer bottom, which sparked backlash from some fans and social media users who deemed the look "too revealing" for a new mother.
Despite the criticism, many others have rallied around the reality star, praising her for her honesty and vulnerability in addressing the realities of postpartum recovery.
The 26-year-old media personality’s openness highlights the broader conversation about body image, societal expectations for new mothers, and the pressure women face in the spotlight.
