Charlie Dior's response to critics
In response to the backlash, the fashion critic stressed that he is not the source of their frustrations.
“You know, they are very vulgar and I don’t know why they are mad. They were very vulgar. Like why are you insulting me, why am I triggering you so much? I mean if you don’t like the clothes, you don’t like the clothes, but why are you going to the extent of insulting me; have I offended you?
“I’m not the source of your issues or problems, so if you don’t like my choice of attire, you can comment and say ‘I do not like this outfit. I feel like you can do it in a better way’ then we are having a productive conversation,” he said.
Delay, curious about the reason behind the insults, asked Charlie Dior why he thinks people criticise him.
In response, he reiterated that he believes Ghanaians are uncomfortable with his personality and urged his critics to seek therapy.
