PENANG, El Sky News – Popular dessert entrepreneur and influencer Khalieda Yusra, widely known as Kieda Crepe, has responded to recent online criticism regarding her choice of maternity attire. The influencer, who is currently expecting her third child, garnered attention after some social media users pointed out that her outfits frequently accentuated her “baby bump,” which they deemed inappropriate.
Distinguishing Sincere Advice from Malice
Taking to her official Facebook account, Kieda clarified that she welcomes constructive feedback and can easily distinguish between those who advise out of genuine concern and those who aim to belittle her.
“I can tell the difference between people who advise from the heart and those who feel they are perfect,” she wrote. Kieda specifically highlighted a follower named Nadiah Shukri, praising her polite and respectful manner of giving advice. “I accept it with an open heart. I didn’t feel offended at all because I could feel the sincerity behind her words,” Kieda added, while also asking her supporters to continue praying for her well-being.
A Firm Stance Against Harsh Comments
While she was receptive to polite reminders, Kieda did not shy away from addressing individuals who used harsh or shaming language. She urged critics to reflect on their own actions before passing judgment on others.
According to Kieda, correcting someone should not involve public humiliation or making the other party feel hurt. She emphasized that as a pregnant woman, physical changes are natural and sometimes difficult to conceal entirely, regardless of the clothing worn.
Moving Forward
The entrepreneur expressed her gratitude to the majority of her followers who remain supportive and protective of her journey. She reiterated her commitment to self-improvement and becoming a better person as she prepares for the arrival of her new baby.
Kieda Crepe remains one of Malaysia’s most prominent viral entrepreneurs, often making headlines not just for her business success but also for her candid and transparent relationship with her online community.
