Maureen Waititu Opens Up About Her 'Revenge Body' Photoshoot ¶
Published on November 15, 2019, Maureen Waititu, a Kenyan YouTuber and media personality, has spoken about her lingerie and bikini photos that sparked speculation about her 'revenge body' after separating from her baby daddy Frankie JustGymIt.
Waititu, who has two children, explained in an interview with Parents Magazine that she had planned the body positivity photoshoot months before her separation from Frankie. She stated that she had not intended to flaunt her 'revenge body' but rather to promote body positivity and self-acceptance.
"I had planned that shoot months prior to the separation and I could not back out because that meant I was allowing myself to wallow in self-pity. The goal was to remind people not to be too hard on themselves because everyone's body is different," Waititu said.
She also spoke about the failed relationship, stating that it ended long before the public knew. Waititu revealed that she was still dealing with the emotional toll of the breakup and that it felt like grief.
"It is to be expected because we put our lives out there and our online 'in-laws' who were also invested in the relationship were and are still curious to know what happened. I'm still dealing with it. It takes time to come to terms with a breakup because of the physical and emotional toll... it feels almost like grief because I feel like I've lost someone who ideally I wanted to grow old with," she said.
