There’s no doubt Boity is one of the most loved local celebs but everyone can testify that she has had her fair share of being bullied and body shamed on social media. The actress is finally opening up about her unfortunate shadow cast on her SAMA dress which was misinterpreted as her private parts. Boity opens up about the downside of being famous.
In an interview with Talk Radio 702, Boity said the public telling celebrities how to dress is the same thing as body shaming. “You trying to police how I should cover up my body lives in the same category of body shaming,” she said.
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be about someone having cellulite or having big thighs, it comes with the idea of you policing how I should dress and judging me according to what I look like.”
Boity says she just wants to be an actress but has learnt to accept everything that comes with it. “The only thing is that I want to act and I want to do whatever it is that I want to do. I didn’t know that it came with this but it’s something I’ve learned to embrace with time,” she said.
