Kate Henshaw, a Nigerian actress, responded to a troll on Twitter who suggested she had a “flat yansh.”
She uploaded a fun video of herself and a friend dancing in the gym on September 17, 2024. It said in the caption, “Energy never lies. Never lose your happiness, no matter what. Remain steadfast in it. I understand why. I hope you have an amazing day, my real X family.
While most fans praised her dance, a comment from a user named Oluwabukola drew her attention.
The comment read, “Flat yansh. Aunty Kate, this your to match gym outfits ehnnn. Give me some now.”‘
The comment, seen as a mixed compliment, received backlash from Henshaw’s supporters.
One of Henshaw’s followers slammed the X user, saying, “What a stupid, backhanded comment to post. Real women lift each other up, not pass backhanded compliments. For the record, a backhanded compliment is a comment that blurs the line between insult and compliment. Apologise to Kate and moving forward, think before you post.”
Henshaw reacted to her follower, saying, “She knew what she did… I don’t need her apology…Thanks Elyzabeth.”
“There is so much to say about you and your face for you to be this unnecessarily and blatantly disrespectful to another person. But we will give you the benefit of first time stupidity and let it slide,” said another follower to the troll.
Henshaw replied to him, “Leave am abeg, make she carry her yansh dey go front mbok.”
The troll swiftly erased her initial comment.
