My tummy is no longer perfect as a result of surgery, leaving me with physical & emotional scars—’-Actress Omotola Jalade
Popular Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has shared how a recent emergency surgery affected her confidence.
In a post on her Instagram page on Saturday, the screen diva reflected on her journey after undergoing a gallbladder removal surgery, which left her with scars.
Recall that in November 2024, the actress revealed her battle with a life-threatening illness.
While sharing a video, Omotola spoke about her self-consciousness, admitting, “My tummy is no longer perfect.”
She further revealed, “Late last 2024, I had emergency surgery. My tummy is one of the best parts of my body but it is not so perfect now.”
Recounting a moment during a recent photoshoot, she added, “During this shoot, I forgot and grabbed my top during the pose and I heard a little voice saying there is nothing to show anymore. Not me! What will shake my confidence has not been created. I smiled and danced. I’m alive, it’s just scars. Some people’s scars are physical while some are emotional.”
