Bella Okagbue ignites discussion after broke-shaming a troll’s father
Reality TV star Bella Okagbue recently faced criticism after a sharp exchange with an online troll who insulted her intelligence. The former Big Brother Naija contestant shared photos of herself at an event on the platform X, and while most fans admired her look, some took the chance to insult her.
One troll called her an “empty head,” prompting Bella to respond with a sarcastic remark, “Like your father’s account balance!” Although her comeback was quick-witted, it drew criticism from many online users, who felt she was “broke-shaming” the troll.
Instead of support, Bella’s response brought more backlash. Some users criticized her choice to use financial status as an insult, questioning if it was the best approach. The interaction quickly went viral, sparking debate about how celebrities handle online hate and whether wealth should be used in clapbacks.
One user, @iam_pterr, commented, “If you don’t use money insults, can’t you come up with anything else?” Another user, @eiefa_john, asked, “What makes her so sure she has more money than the person’s father?”
Meanwhile, Bella’s supporters also chimed in. @Wenndyyyyyyyy commented, “Public figures should stand up for themselves sometimes. When someone insults you for no reason, put them in their place! People need to remember that celebrities are humans too. Very silly behavior.”
