Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has addressed concerns and speculation surrounding the appearance of her neck, dismissing suggestions that it is linked to any medical condition.
The actress said the comments began after people online started questioning her physical appearance, prompting her to clarify the situation in a video message.
She stressed that there is no health issue behind it, insisting that her neck shape is natural and simply part of her body structure.
“I just want to tell you people that my neck is fat, as you can see. I like food a lot, I really do like food. I am not a goiter case, and it is not thyroid. Don’t project your future sickness on me. I am not sick.”
Etinosa criticised the tendency for people to speculate about celebrities’ health based on appearance, saying such assumptions are unnecessary and harmful.
“Hello, I know some of you enjoy it when a celebrity comes online to say they are sick and starts asking for help. You people like hearing about sickness in popular people, but that is wicked and evil. Stay away from me. I do not have any sickness in my neck, and by the grace of God, anyone who wishes me that kind of sickness will go back to sender.”
She further explained that the trait runs in her family, adding that several female relatives share the same physical feature.
“As you can see my neck like this, it is natural. This is how my mother’s neck is, and this is how we are in my family. My daughter’s neck is the same too, even though she is still small. She is enjoying life. That is how almost all the women in my family are. We all carry it well. If you see my aunties, you will understand.”
