Raisa Receives Outpouring of Support Following Comments on Postpartum Bodies
A recent online discussion sparked by a social media user’s comments about singer Raisa Andriana’s appearance following childbirth has ignited a wave of support for the artist and a broader conversation about societal expectations placed on mothers. The initial remarks, which suggested Raisa’s physical changes were a factor in alleged infidelity involving her husband, Hamish Daud, drew swift and widespread criticism.
Numerous social media users have come to Raisa’s defense, condemning the focus on her body and emphasizing that infidelity stems from a lack of commitment, not a partner’s appearance.
“It’s funny, why is it that every time there is a case of infidelity the other person’s body is highlighted? Actually, the person who cheats is not as their partner isn’t beautiful enough, but because they themselves can’t keep their commitments. Marriage is a promise before God,not a competition about who is the most attractive,” wrote user @maunyasihhappy.
Other commenters highlighted the physical and emotional toll of pregnancy and childbirth. “@yourrmajesty_” stated, “Bro, don’t you realize why so many peopel are so hurt by your statement, especially girls, because you demean the physique of people who have given birth. Even though they don’t want that either. They’re already exhausted from being pregnant, risking their lives, faced with the fact that their bodies have changed and can’t go back to the way they were before. Imagine that.”
User @kelulistarlight added, “The brother who is called cheating has no reason, it’s the final case in the household.Don’t take it physically, he changed because he gave birth to a child and that’s normal. You are comparing a woman who gave birth to one child, to a woman who has not given birth to a child at all. It’s not fair.”
Several users also pointed out the unrealistic expectations placed on women to balance motherhood, careers, and personal well-being. @mimibayi commented, “Her body has changed because she’s given birth. Then she also takes care of her own house without maids.so maybe her time has run out for family and career, so she doesn’t have time for herself.”
The debate continues on social media, with the majority of users expressing solidarity with Raisa and challenging the harmful narratives surrounding postpartum bodies and marital fidelity.
