I was cyberbullied during my Cookathon – Chef Dammy

Chef Dammy has opened up about her struggles with cyberbullying after her 2023 cook-a-thon attempt circulated.

 In an interview, she shared that she was unprepared for the backlash and felt overwhelmed by the negative comments.

Chef Dammy revealed that she was broken by the experience, facing not only online bullying but also real-life assault and harassment.

However, she has since found the strength to speak about her ordeal without tears, expressing gratitude for her growth and newfound resilience.

She said, “My interest in cooking started when I began living alone as a student. Even the cookathon, I didn’t know it was going to be viral. I didn’t even tell my parents about it; they just saw me. I was shocked to see myself on social media.

“If you had asked me this question two years ago or a year ago, I might be crying. But now I’m happy I can talk about this without crying.

“There was a time in my life I was even telling God, ‘Can this wait a bit? Can I at least forget some things?’ I felt overwhelmed. The cyberbullying was just a little compared to what I experienced in real life. I was bullied, I was assaulted. I was broken. Social media broke me.”
