OB Amponsah sparks online debate over Louisa Laryea's comment
Ghanaian comedian OB Amponsah has ignited a wave of online reactions following a pointed Facebook post criticising Louisa Laryea, a public figure known for her social media presence.
In the post, Amponsah questioned Laryea’s tendency to body shame others, stating: “How is Louisa Laryea always the first to call people names and body shame them when the only thing relevant about her is her husband’s surname?”
The post, which has garnered over 1,500 reactions and nearly 600 comments, has stirred intense debate across social platforms.
While some users supported Amponsah’s stance, applauding him for calling out what they described as “online bullying,” others accused him of perpetuating the same kind of personal attack he was condemning.
Louisa Laryea, who is often associated with her husband’s public profile, has not publicly responded to the post at the time of writing.
However, the controversy has reignited broader conversations about body shaming, relevance in public discourse, and the ethics of online commentary.
Social media users have weighed in with mixed views.
One commenter noted, “OB is right to speak up.
We need to stop normalising insults disguised as opinions.” Another countered, “This is ironic. He’s doing exactly what he’s accusing her of.”
The incident reflects a growing tension in Ghana’s digital culture, where public figures and influencers are increasingly held accountable for their online behaviour.
As the conversation continues, many are calling for a more respectful and constructive approach to public engagement.
