Eric Omondi has once again come to the defense of his girlfriend Lynne, after the comedian faced backlash over her significant weight loss journey. Lynne had previously shared her incredible transformation of shedding 17kg over eight months, which sparked mixed reactions on social media, especially from netizens who questioned the reasons behind her change in appearance.
In an interview with blogger Miss Trudy Kitui, Eric dismissed claims that his girlfriend’s transformation was due to stress or external pressure. He emphasized that Lynne, who recently gave birth to their daughter, Kayla, looks good and is happy with her progress. The comedian pointed out that society often criticizes women no matter what they do – if they gain weight, they are advised to hit the gym, and if they lose weight, it’s speculated that they are stressed. Eric firmly stated that Lynne’s choice to work on her body was her own, and that she was in great health, feeling better than ever.
“Lynne is okay, now what do people want? Wacha Lynne aslay. If she had gained weight, they’d say she looks bad and should hit the gym. If she goes to the gym, they’ll say she’s stressed. If you look bad, they’ll talk. If you look nice, they’ll say you’re stressed. Lynne is fine, anakaa poa, she looks good and feels great. People will always talk,” Eric said.
This statement followed after Lynne openly shared her weight loss journey on social media, where she expressed the challenges and satisfaction of her transformation. Her hard work paid off, as she described feeling healthier and happier with her new look.
Despite the positive feedback from some fans, others were quick to voice their concerns, with a number of commenters highlighting that Lynne appeared to be under pressure to meet certain beauty standards. In response to the criticisms, Eric continued to advocate for Lynne’s choices, stating that people should mind their own business and not scrutinize others so closely.
“People will always talk,” Eric added, reassuring his followers that Lynne is in control of her own body and her happiness.
The couple’s relationship continues to attract attention, not just for their personal lives, but also for their fun-filled outings together. Recently, Eric and Lynne were spotted dancing happily at a well-known Nairobi club, where they shared joyful moments on social media.
Despite the mixed reactions, Eric Omondi remains a firm supporter of his girlfriend’s decisions, underscoring the importance of personal happiness and well-being over societal opinions.
