SA drags Thuli Phongolo's BBL
In the comments, social media users roasted Thuli Phongolo’s BBL. Several netizens argued that Thuli had an amazing physique before she allegedly went under the knife to enhance her curves.
Here are some of the comments:
@NeeNeeNichelle said:
“I don’t know if this is a stereotype, but if so, I'm sorry, but I'll never understand why a Black South African woman would ever get a BBL. Why would you wanna look badly built on purpose? It's so confusing to me.”
@femaleAlostro criticised:
“Looking at her body, you can tell God never planned for her to have curves, so she decided to buy them 😩”
@Ledwabajahiem advised:
"Those with BBLs should never take off their clothes in public."
@CHAT_PTA roasted:
“Looks like she needs an alignment; she looks disabled.”
@Gudlhuzaa said:
“BBL is a humiliation ritual for women, I don't care😭😭😭😭”
@Mramatla_ highlighted:
"Seems like BBL looks nice when one is wearing clothes, look at the hips always far from the waist."
@MKayTheQueen said:
“She ruined her natural body.”
@Titizma1 shared:
“It looks like melting ice cream in the sun.”
@PMiliyon argued:
“It is a disability because it’s a form of deformity. That’s not a natural look; it’s a deformed body.”
