Eve Mungai Opens Up About Body-Shaming During Her 43kg Phase

Eve Mungai has opened up about the body-shaming she experienced when she weighed about 43kg, revealing that persistent comments about her appearance once left her in tears.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Eve reflected on a period when her naturally slim frame became a frequent subject of public commentary.

“Gosh, hapa kgs zilikuwa zimekatalia 45, yooh, you guys bullied me hadi nikalia kwa hii interview,” Eve said, recalling the period when her weight was around 43kg.

Her revelation highlights the scrutiny she faced over her appearance before embarking on a fitness journey that would later see her gain weight and become more comfortable with her changing body.

Eve’s Weight Journey

Eve has previously spoken openly about her changing physique and the criticism that accompanied her transformation.

In December 2025, she revealed that her weight had reached 62kg, which she described as the heaviest she had ever been.

At the time, Eve said she had been consistently working out at the gym for three months after beginning her fitness journey on October 6.

“This is the 3rd month now; I started on October 6th and I love it here. Current weight is 62kgs,the heaviest I have ever been, but yeah, I wouldn’t want to lose or gain,” she said in an Instagram post.

Criticism Followed Her Transformation

While gaining weight marked a significant change for Eve, it did not end public commentary about her body.

Instead, she faced another wave of criticism from people who wanted her to return to her previous appearance.

In January 2026, Eve pushed back against those commenting on her transformation, insisting that she should be free to decide how she wants her body to look.

“You do not get to choose what version of me you like; you will prefer whatever body I decide to have because this is my world, not yours,” she said.

The content creator also explained that gaining weight had not been an easy process, making the criticism particularly difficult given that she had previously been targeted for being too thin.

From Being Too Thin to Facing Criticism for Gaining Weight

Eve’s latest revelation offers another perspective on her fitness journey, showing that public scrutiny followed her at different stages of her physical transformation.

She went from being criticised for her 43kg frame to facing comments after gaining weight, highlighting the pressure public figures can experience over their appearance.
