In response, Chef Dammy released a video addressing her haters directly.

The chef shared that she had received words like “Werey,” a local term meaning “mad person,” among other abusive messages.
Reflection on Past Hurt
Reflecting on her past experiences, Chef Dammy admitted that she used to feel hurt by such comments.
However, she stressed that she has grown stronger and no longer lets negativity affect her.
She explained that many of her critics do not really know who she is today, and therefore their opinions hold little weight.

According to her, people who lash out at others often have issues in their own lives and families.
“The way they behave online often reflects problems at home,” she stated, pointing out that their anger says more about them than it does about her.
