Betty Kyallo, the CEO of Flair by Betty, found herself in the midst of social media backlash recently, following her seaside vacation just a few days ago. The source of contention stemmed from her decision to capture herself donning a bikini and subsequently sharing both photos and videos of this experience online. Some members of the online community criticized her for setting a poor example for her daughter and anyone who looks up to her.
However, the mother of one didn’t take this criticism lying down and responded to her critics by emphasizing that she doesn’t consider herself a role model for those who disapprove of her choices. She defended her choice to share bikini photos, stating that it’s unrealistic to expect her to swim in attire like pajamas or other clothing.
Betty made it clear that her primary role models are her sisters and her daughter. She boldly expressed that she’s comfortable in her own skin and doesn’t understand why the public should be uncomfortable with her body. She firmly asserted that her social media accounts, such as Instagram and Facebook, reflect her true self, and if anyone disapproves of her content, they are free to unfollow her. She concluded by affirming her self-confidence and self-acceptance, celebrating her body, and explaining how she no longer feels the need to hide the scars from a past accident. She encouraged self-acceptance and a positive self-image, emphasizing that she had to reach a point where she valued herself and her unique qualities, irrespective of societal pressures or prejudices.
