BBNaija reality star, Bella Okagbue, recently found herself at the center of an intense online backlash after commenting on a photo shared by her friend and fellow BBNaija alum, Chomzy. The photo featured Chomzy’s stepson and Bella’s godson, sparking unexpected reactions from followers who accused Bella of insensitivity.
The controversy began when Chomzy posted an innocent photo of her stepson alongside Bella’s godson. Rather than being met with simple admiration, the image quickly fueled accusations of ‘child-stealing’ and provoked debates surrounding the family dynamics. Many interpreted the post as insensitive, suggesting that the child was being kept away from his biological mother, which amplified the negative sentiments toward the situation.
Ignoring the critical tone in the comments, Bella responded to the post with positivity, calling both children “My babies 💙💙,” in a supportive and heartfelt message. Despite her warm intentions, her comment unintentionally attracted a wave of criticism, with some followers interpreting her support for Chomzy as turning a blind eye to the ongoing controversy.
Her seemingly innocent reply led to a surge of negative reactions from trolls, who began to flood the comment section, suggesting that Bella’s actions were insensitive to the alleged issues surrounding Chomzy’s stepson’s relationship with his biological mother. One troll even harshly commented, “The people are saying why didn’t you just hype your Godson and act like you didn’t see the other boy. You’re wicked for not ignoring him😤,” pointing out that Bella’s acknowledgment of both children was inappropriate in their view.
However, Bella’s loyal fans were quick to defend her, arguing that she would have been criticized regardless of her response. One supporter pointed out, “Imagine her only hyping her Godson same people will drag for not hyping the other son, now she hype both they’re still dragging her 😡😡😡it’s well with you people.” This comment reflects the view of Bella’s fans that her actions were misinterpreted, and that she was unfairly targeted.
