“Create a Human, Let’s See How You Fare” – Israel Laryea Fires Back at Critics of Wife
Reacting to critics who have described his wife, Louisa, as ugly and unattractive, he said, “There are also those who say Louisa is ugly. Really? This woman right here, at 52 years, after giving birth to three children, is ugly? Create a human and let’s see how you fare.” He posted.
Background
Louisa Laryea had earlier posted on social media, stating that journalism goes beyond make-up, skin bleaching, BBL, wigs and fashion, stressing that journalists must research, verify facts, interrogate data and demonstrate sound reasoning.
Earlier that same day, GHOne TV’s Lilly Mohammed had apologized for comments she made against the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, over the decision to grant global internet personality IShowSpeed a Ghanaian passport.
Louisa’s post was subsequently linked by some social media users to Lilly Mohammed’s persona, triggering intense backlash directed at her.
The journalist further expressed concern about friends who joined or fueled the trolling against his wife. According to him, he has never taken part in any form of online trolling.
“Finally, to the ‘friends’ who joined the troll or fueled it, what real friends would do is to reach out privately to obtain some context or seek to correct if necessary. I’ve never trolled or joined the trolling of a friend and would never do that. But hey, we’re all brought up differently, which is why we will always have differences in opinion. Stay well,” he stated.
