Nollywood star Nkechi Blessing Sunday has revealed that she personally located and facilitated the arrest of the woman who secretly recorded and circulated the viral gym video that subjected her to intense online ridicule and body shaming earlier this year.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Honest Brunch Podcast, the actress recounted how the footage—captured without her consent during a workout session—spread across social media, triggering widespread criticism. Blessing described the experience as a clear violation of her privacy.
She disclosed that her initial attempt to obtain information from the gym where the recording took place was unsuccessful. “iFitness hid her information from me… I found her. I got her arrested, of course,” she said, underscoring her resolve to seek accountability.

Blessing concluded by calling for greater awareness around privacy rights and condemning the culture of online bullying, emphasising the need to celebrate authenticity over artificial expectations.
