Demetria Obilor Slammed For Dressing "Provocatively" On Channel 8 Traffic Report by contactmorak: 1:53pm On Nov 07, 2017
Demetria Obilor, a curvy Nigerian-American traffic reporter, has come under fire for the way she dresses her curves on TV.

Demetria works with Channel 8 in Dallas. On Wednesday, a woman who goes by Jan Shedd on Facebook went on social media to call out Demetria, who she said was a "size 16/18 woman in a size 6 dress". She went on to say that she will no longer watch Channel 8 anymore because of the curvy anchor

But some viewers did not agree with the woman and criticized her. Even Chance the Rapper weighed in and opposed Jan for her negative comments about the new Channel 8 reporter. A lot of people felt her comment was racist.

"This is precisely how women of color are treated in the workplace wearing the same exact s*** white girls have on," a user wrote on Twitter, along with a screengrab of Shedd’s post.

The Texas woman later claimed she was attacked by the "racist mafia" after making her Facebook post, which she declared had nothing to do with race.

Shedd wrote: "Frankly, I didn’t even notice that she was black. I was shocked that Channel 8 would put someone on the air that dressed so provocatively."

Demetria Obilor, whose father is Nigerian, became famous when a popular website called her the most beautiful Traffic Reporter in the world with the hashtag #TrafficBae. Since then she has gone on to become even more popular and the criticism from Jan has only served to make her more so.

Meanwhile, Obilor has replied to the criticism. She recorded a video where she addressed her critics and also those who show her love.

shocked

This is a No-No for me
This generation is wasted.

I miss the days of Ruth Benemasia-Opia, Tokunbo Ajayi and Siene All-well Brown.

The worst of them all is Nancy Isime.
Even though I'm a porn addict but its' wrong.
Can't we have some decency on TV?

I don't think theirs anything wrong with this particular dressing.

We all want a woman, with good dressing sense, not some woman that would be wearing agbada (lol).

I guess that woman has a personal beef with her.


She's beautiful

The lady who wrote the complaint must be living under a rock. She ought to know that Demetria’s style is the standard for “weather girls” in the US.

BTW, this lady is HOT, HOT, HOT.
