Maureen Solomon warns that BBL recovery videos online could mislead young girls about beauty standards.
She says celebrities must consider the influence their posts have on impressionable fans everywhere.
Nollywood actress Maureen Solomon has raised concerns over the increasing number of female celebrities sharing their Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) recovery videos on social media.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Solomon said she is worried about how such content influences young girls who look up to these entertainers.
According to her, cosmetic procedures are a personal choice, but broadcasting the process online sends the wrong message.
She said: “I don’t have anything against BBL. I ‘ve never had anything against surgical enhancement. I believe it’s your body. Do whatever you wish with your body.”
Her concern, however, is how openly these procedures are now being advertised.
“But where I have a problem with it is televising it, putting on social media, your recovery, making certain comments. As an adult, it’s OK but because we have younger generation looking up to us, there are things we should be mindful of,” she added.
Solomon said she recently saw a video of two actresses she admires showing off their post-surgery bodies online. She stressed that such actions could pressure young girls to believe they must alter their bodies to feel beautiful.
She expressed worry that many impressionable fans copy what celebrities do, not what they say.
“You are here showing them how you are recovering from BBL… c’mon babes, ladies what are we doing?” she asked.
The actress noted that while parents teach their daughters confidence, social media content may be sending a conflicting message. “Do you know how many young girls will be saving up money to go and get one?” she warned.
Solomon urged celebrities to think carefully before posting such content online, reminding them that boys are also watching and may place unrealistic expectations on women in the future. “Whatever you put on social media won’t go away,” she said
