Former Kiss FM presenter Adelle Onyango has been bullied over her teeth a zillion times ever since she became famous.
In a tweet, the media personality recently recalled how people made fun of her teeth.
Adelle stressed that she has always been proud of her smile even though people bullied her over her teeth.
She is now glad that she is appearing on billboards all over Nairobi as she smiles with her teeth seen.
“All through my career, I’ve been bullied about my teeth. I find it so strange. I have always loved my smile – its genuine, so effortless and now, all over friggin Nairobi. Every time you see it remember to: love your body, there is beauty in diversity,” she said in the post.

For years, Adelle has received hate for her teeth. The animosity reached fever pitch on her wedding day when critics told her to fix her teeth because she can afford it.
In a clap back message on social media some years back, Adelle informed the haters that she is perfectly okay with her teeth and that beauty is diverse.
“These crooked teeth put together a killer smile,” she said before adding, “I don’t believe in ‘flaws’. We are as we are meant to be. Beauty is diverse – there’s no ONE way to be beautiful! The greatest thing you can do for yourself, take yourself as you are my love!”
Sometime later, Adelle confessed that she has not always been self-confident, it took time to accept what she considered her flaws.
