Nollywood actress and award-winning star, Chisom Steve, has bravely shared a deeply personal experience after receiving a hurtful message from a follower questioning her ability to conceive.
In a recent social media post, Chisom shared a screenshot of a direct message (DM) she received from a woman who bluntly asked,
“Why are you not yet pregnant? Abi are you barren?”
The actress, clearly taken aback by the insensitivity, responded with grace and strength. In her response, she clarified that she is not barren, revealing instead that she had recently suffered a miscarriage — a painful and heartbreaking experience she had been privately dealing with.
Chisom expressed her disappointment at the woman’s lack of empathy, calling out the harshness of the message. She reminded her followers that behind every public figure is a human being with real emotions and personal struggles.
Her response has sparked a wave of support from fans and fellow celebrities who praised her for speaking up and addressing such a sensitive issue with courage.
This moment not only sheds light on the emotional toll of miscarriage but also highlights the importance of compassion when engaging with others online — especially regarding personal matters like fertility.
Chisom and her husband, Ogbonnaya Ikenna Daniel, tied the knot in March 2024.
