Jarvis fires back at Twitter user Ruth over body-shaming comparisons
TikTok star Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, known as Jarvis, hit back at Twitter user Ruth after the user compared Jarvis's old and recent photos, suggesting the images showed her before and after marriage. Jarvis addressed the accusation in a video posted on August 16, 2026, calling the comparison body-shaming.
She said, "So, on Twitter, there's one lady called Ruth. I don't know who gave her Ruth because the Ruth I know in the Bible, they are not like that," and added, "Ruth, you'll not go and marry; you are there comparing before and after." Jarvis also claimed that users were exploiting her pictures to generate engagement and revenue, stating, "You people are using me to cash out on that Twitter app."
The exchange highlights the prevalence of appearance-based attacks on Nigerian social media, where users often juxtapose old and new pictures to mock or shame creators. Such harassment can affect mental health and discourage authentic self-expression online.
