Popular Nigerian comedienne, Lepacious has taken to her social media page to recount her first flight experience as a plus-sized with tears. he revealed that the seat belts couldn’t go round her waist due to her weight then.
Lepacious Bose recounted on travelling on a plane with male comedians and being too ashamed to request a seat belt extension because she did’t want them to mock her.
She also opened up on how she had to ask for a seat belt extension on other occasions which is very embarrassing for her. Lepacious Bose has since worked on herself and lost weight.
She said she broke down in tears as she remembered all the embarrassing moments she had endured up until that moment and will never go back to the old self again.
Sharing the photo of the moment on the plane, the comedienne recounted the first flight experience. She wrote, ‘‘No it is not a movie and no one died. This was the first time I would travel in years without needing a seat belt extension !!!”I simply pulled the belt and it clicked and I broke down in the plane and cried…..oh how I cried…. I cried for so many reasons”.
She then went further to list the reasons, ”For the shame, I felt for years every time the plane crew handed the extension to me and the look people gave me”
”I cried because I remembered travelling with a group of comedians (great guys) but I did not want them to make fun of me, I flew 6 hours without using a seat belt…..I could not bear to ask for extension and I acted like it was together”
‘‘I cried because I remembered how many times I held the seat belt in a car so that lastma would not stop me but the seat belt never connected so I just held it till I passed them”
‘‘I cried for a million and one reasons I can not write about. I cried because I remembered how many times I got to sit by the exit with leg room and I was politely told I was too overweight to sit there…in case of an emergency it is assumed a big person will not move fast enough…..Hmmm’
”I cried because I remembered various times I sat behind evil nasty people in planes who acted like sitting beside me was depriving them of oxygen” she concluded.
Lepacious Bose then said she shed tears today because she’s grateful as google photos popped again.
