Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has come out to express her displeasure at trending photos portraying her as aged.
Through a video on her Insta stories, the South African-based reality TV star said the photos have been doctored by jealous and insecure people who are unable to embrace her graceful ageing.
Addressing the issue head-on, Zari questioned the motives behind their alleged actions.
“Why is it her, how do we try and bring her down? You can’t. Some of us are the chosen ones; God handles us differently, so y’all can stop the editing because I do not change. I still stay gorgeous as old as I am,” Zari said.
Zari suggested that the people who edit her to appear older than her age are motivated by their insecurities.
“I feel so bad for you. If I were you, I’d probably feel the same as you,” she remarked.
“Why are you pressed by my looks? Editing my photos to suit your narrative won’t change me over here. If that persists, seek mental help,” she advised.
The allegedly edited photos
In the allegedly edited photos, Zari’s face showed signs of ageing and a subtle droop around her cheeks.
Zari wore a grey crop top, combat jeans, and a white coat casually thrown over her shoulders.
Additionally, there is noticeable loose skin on a section of Zari’s abdomen.
The photos have been doing rounds on the internet with many accusing her of faking beauty standards.
Zari addresses video of her looking old
The socialite, who was in Kenya on December 15 to attend the Women in Business Award ceremony, was interviewed by Kenyan bloggers after landing at the airport.
The videos of her being interviewed circulated on the internet like wildfire, with many saying she looked older.
Zari was not happy about it, and she lashed out at bloggers, accusing them of editing her videos.
“Editing videos to satisfy your empty souls doesn’t change my reality. Phew, I’m gorgeous. And it’s always the 20s and 30s pressed about a 40-year-old. Hehe mwe muloza people don’t see me in real to know nti ndi mulungi live. Just did a press conference. All videos released were media videos. Facts!” she retorted.
