In her show “MOOD’E BY EK,” Emmanuelle Kéïta examined the dressing style of Ruth Gbagbi, an Ivorian taekwondo athlete. The latter responded on her Facebook page.
Since she hosts her fashion show titled “MOOD’E BY EK” every Saturday on NCI, Emmanuelle Keïta meticulously reviews the outfits of Ivorian public figures. Every time she critiques a celebrity’s attire, she sparks controversy on social media.
On Saturday, August 5th, the Ivorian influencer once again stirred up controversy by discussing Ruth Gbagbi, a taekwondo athlete. In fact, Emmanuelle Kéïta made an inappropriate comment about the attire of the Ivorian champion in that episode. “When you want to dress like a man, give yourself an appealing style. What’s this? What is this? When you want to be a guy, be an attractive guy. Come see me, I’ll give you a makeover, but not as a woman, because you’ve built muscles so that a dress doesn’t touch you. More muscles, even more muscles,” she asserted.
The African taekwondo champion did not appreciate these remarks. On her Facebook page, Ruth Gbagbi challenged the presenter during a media appearance. “Madam Emmanuelle Keita, a true champion is never defined by her clothes but by the strength of her spirit and her victories. True greatness doesn’t follow passing trends, but resides in the values one embodies and shares with the youth, hoping to inspire future generations. However, Mrs. Keita, know that I gladly accept your makeover proposal, and I also invite you to join me for a special training session and muscle strengthening,” the athlete responded.
Regarding the invitation from the Ivorian taekwondo athlete, the host responded on her page on Monday, August 7, 2023. “Ahuuuu. Who’s going to leave? What is all this? This girl wants to finish me,” EK posted.
