Nigerian actress and comedienne Lizzy Jay has fired back at a social media troll who insulted her on Instagram, delivering a sharp response to shut them down.
The online exchange quickly gained attention, sparking mixed reactions from fans and followers.
The drama began when an Instagram user, identified as @jaiyeadewunmi, left a negative comment on one of Lizzy Jay’s posts. The troll simply wrote, “dry,” implying that Lizzy’s content was dull or uninteresting.
Rather than ignoring the remark, Lizzy Jay responded with a fiery clapback. She took a screenshot of the comment and posted it on her page, launching a strong verbal attack on the critic.
Lizzy Jay’s fiery response
In her response, Lizzy did not hold back. She harshly criticized the troll’s physical appearance, describing her as “shapeless” and “ugly.” She also mocked the woman’s body structure, focusing on her arms, legs, and overall physique.
“If you want to come to my page and be a troll, at least come correct,” Lizzy wrote. “Don’t come looking like a rejected sacrifice and think you can insult me.”
She continued by making unflattering comments about the troll’s body shape, comparing her to a “dead toad” and suggesting that her thighs were “overlapping each other.” Lizzy also questioned whether the critic ever looked in the mirror and liked what she saw.
Her response did not end there. She went further, saying, “At this your age, you already look like a great-grandmother. Do you even like what you see when you look in the mirror? Are you proud of the fat pig you see?”
Mixed reactions from the public
Lizzy Jay’s outburst sparked an online debate. While some social media users praised her for standing up for herself, others felt she had gone too far.
Many of her supporters argued that online trolls deserve to be called out. They commended Lizzy for not allowing negativity to go unchallenged. Some even said the troll “got what she deserved” for trying to body-shame someone else.
However, critics felt that Lizzy’s response was excessive and unnecessary. They pointed out that body-shaming someone in return does not make the situation better. Some urged the actress to take the high road and ignore online negativity instead of engaging in harsh insults.
One Instagram user commented, “You could have responded with class instead of stooping to her level. Now you’re also guilty of body-shaming.”
Another wrote, “She insulted you, yes, but this reply is too much. There are better ways to handle trolls.”
The ongoing battle against online trolling
Social media has become a battleground for celebrities and internet trolls. Public figures often face harsh criticism, and reactions like Lizzy Jay’s are becoming more common. While some stars choose to ignore negative comments, others fight back fiercely.
Lizzy’s reaction highlights the ongoing debate about how best to handle online insults. Should celebrities respond with equal force, or should they rise above the negativity?
For now, Lizzy Jay stands by her response, showing no signs of regret. As discussions continue online, one thing is clear—social media remains an unpredictable and often brutal space for public figures.
