‘I’ve Been Depressed Many Times’ – Lady Cries Out Over Being Body-Shamed For Having Saggy Breasts (video)
A Nigerian lady has in a now-viral video cried out over being repeatedly body-shamed for having saggy breasts, medically known as ptosis breasts.
The distraught lady who tweets with the handle @divine_richard_ revealed that she was born with sagging breasts and that it is disheartening that she is being shamed for it.
Divine disclosed that she has been depressed due to hurtful comments she has received about her boobs.
She revealed that she will alter her body to have a former breast if she has an option to do.
Hello guys. I just want to say something really quickly. As you can see, I have saggy boobs and they are just there. You can see that they get up to my tummy and that’s just how I was born. If only we had the chance to change our body, I would have changed mine but it’s not that easy, you know.
In Nigeria, it’s really hard because people insult you. People insult me everyday and I have been depressed. I have gone through depression so many times.
This is my message
Words hurt..depression is insidious
Please stop body shaming… pic.twitter.com/D5dRiv6Loj— citygirlDIDI🌈🦋 (@divine_richard_) December 15, 2020
Divine tearfully added that she is scared of getting into relationships because she doesn’t know to present her body to her partner.

Breast ptosis is the medical term for drooping breast tissue. The most important thing to know is that it’s completely natural to experience some degree of sagging as your breasts change over time
According to Healthline, saggy breasts are part of a change in breast appearance that most women experience, especially as they get older.
Information about what causes or doesn’t cause saggy breasts can be conflicting but facts have been separated from these misconceptions over time.
True causes of saggy breasts include;
Aging, collagen deficiency, estrogen deficiency, gravity, high body mass index, larger breast size, menopause, multiple pregnancies, rapid weight loss followed by weight gain (or vice versa), smoking or natural cause.
Debunked causes of saggy breasts;
Breastfeeding, not wearing a bra, wearing a bad bra, multiple sex partners and so on.
Loss of skin elasticity due to aging is the most common cause of saggy breasts but it can be also a natural occurrence.
