Ghanaian actress and filmmaker Xandy Kamel has sparked concern among her followers after sharing a series of emotional posts online about being consistently body shamed.

In the Facebook posts, the filmmaker described the situation as taking a serious toll on her mental health, disclosing that she had become depressed following repeated attacks over her physical looks.

According to Kamel, some netizens have been posting videos about her for months and repeatedly making comments about her body.

“Ghanaians you have won, bullies you have won, body shamers, you have won,” she wrote in one of the posts, appearing to suggest that the continued attacks had become overwhelming.

In another post, the actress said she was unable to continue fighting the battle and appealed to God for forgiveness.

“I can't fight the battle anymore may God forgive me,” she noted.

Xandy Kamel has, over the years, been subjected to criticism and bullying on social media, particularly over her physical appearance.

Her experiences with online bullying and body shaming have also influenced her work as a filmmaker, with some of her creative projects addressing the issue and its impact on people who are constantly judged because of their appearance.

She recently featured Nigerian actors Uju Okoli and Ray Adeka in her latest film, Unseen Beauty, which explores the impact of internet bullying and body shaming, particularly against plus-sized women.

Speaking to Graphic Showbiz in 2025 about the motivation behind the film, Xandy Kamel explained that her personal experiences with bullying and criticism inspired her to tell a story that reflects the struggles faced by many women who are judged because of how they look.

“I’ve lived this reality, being mocked, judged, and belittled just because of how I look. People assume that being plus-sized means you lack discipline or you’re lazy or you overeat. But that’s not always the case.

“There are so many young women silently struggling with conditions they can’t even talk about, and yet every time they post a photo or step outside, they are ridiculed. I want to tell a story that reflects that pain, but also the resilience and worth of every woman,” she said.
