Chef Wan Slams Netizens For Body-shaming Comments

chef wan slams netizens for body-shaming comments

Local celebrity chef Datuk Redzuawan Ismail, better known as Chef Wan, recently put netizens in their place, after he received backlash on social media for posting a video of himself going swimming, in only his trunks.

The 62-year-old was not only criticised for not covering himself up (exposing his aurat), but he also ended up being body-shamed, with some comments saying he should cover up because he’s out of shape.

But Chef Wan was quick to set aside these nasty comments with a follow-up post, accompanied by a composed response to his “haters”.

Here’s what the culinary icon had to say…

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Ala sibuk la some of this people yang asyik nak bersyarah konon kita ni ambil gambar mandi di kolam tu nampak aurat, banyak tunjuk seluar pendek with all my friends lah. Ada yang coment tak malu ke dah tua nampak kan perut tu buncit dan tetek tu dah gelebeh. Dah tua gelebeh la semua! Law of gravity! Esok dah tua asyik mengata orang jangan esok bibir masing2 pulak Allah gelebeh kan.😂 Baru tahu nasib masing2. Tak kan la mereka ini bodoh sangat tak tahu yang selama ini i lead a very liberal life. Meaning saya ni tak hidup didalam gua batu bergaul dgn mcm2 orang dan semua pun saya treat with respect. Tak kan mandi di kolam renang nak berjubah pulak. Memang la saya dah tua badan pun gemuk dan boroi tetapi with great confidence and selfesteem. Itu sebab saya berani post gambar2 itu. I am comfortable in my own skin pun. Pi lah suluh muka dan badan masing2 pun kalau cantik sangat nak mengata kan saya ini. Bapak atau laki kau orang masing2 pun ada yg rupa dan badan mcm aku jugak! Sikit hari all of u are going to get to where i am too. I updated all those video because i wanted to laugh at my silly old self and hopefully make others laugh too. Dont be a bloody hipocrite always wanting to judge my life and put me down. By doing so i make others smile dan tak menyakit kan hati sesiapa pun. Yang kau orang risau tetek aku ni gelebeh dan perut aku ni boroi apa hal? Pi telanjang depan cermin tu suluh dulu badan masing2 jika cantik sangat kan.😂 Tak habis2 nak jadi ustazah dan ustaz. Tak habis2 nak jatuh hukuman. Mulut masing2 mcm haram jadah nak menyakit kan hati orang mereka tak sedar pulak. Suka hati aku la nak jadi ikan jerung ke atau badak berendam sekali pun! Kau Ado? Elok2 boleh follow my IG kan dah kena block now. Rimas manusia2 yang always think they are far holy and better than us.. Ada pulak tu menyindir yindir kita pulak mcm la kita ni banggang sangat tak faham maksud mereka. Is all this necessary? Kau tengok Ikan Dugung ni baring relax aja.. Tak pulak dia kisah the world around him. Nak tengok ..tengok tak suka unfollow aja. We have so much to learn from people attitude out there.

It wasn’t all hurtful comments though, Chef Wan’s fans had his back, telling him to just brush off this negativity.

Body-shaming isn’t cool, and everyone should be comfortable in their own skin.

Don’t let yourselves be put down by others. Be proud of who you are! Work it!
