My ex hid my clothes because he said I looked like I was ‘asking for it’ – now I wear the same dresses for photoshoots
A FEMALE CEO felt chic and confident as she modeled one of her favorite gowns for a brand photoshoot.
She looked stunning in the dress but shared some shocking criticism that a previous partner had said when she wore the look.

Some social media users might know Nadya Okamoto (@nadyaokamoto) as the “period fairy.”
It’s an alter ego she constructed as the head of August, an inclusive menstrual care brand Okamoto co-founded in 2020.
But while she’s excelled as an entrepreneur, Okamoto was previously facing restrictions in her personal life that many didn’t know about.
In a video, she opened up about her ex’s controlling behavior and celebrated the sense of freedom she’s cultivated today.
The clip was a behind-the-scenes look at a photoshoot Okamoto was participating in.
In a caption, Okamoto revealed that the dress she was wearing had special significance to her.
“My ex used to hide my clothes that he thought made me look slutty,” she said – and included the asymmetrical black gown in that number.
The ex-partner tried to justify his behavior with some old-fashioned controlling rhetoric.
Okamoto said, “It made me look like I was ‘asking for it,’” quoting the toxic ex.
As Okamoto posed and smiled, looking radiant and carefree, she looked back on the relationship and showed hindsight is 20/20.
“I should’ve known then to dump his a**,” she wrote ruefully.

Okamoto’s only regret is not dumping the toxic ex earlierTikTok/nadyaokamoto
Viewers rushed to support and compliment Okamoto in the comment section and encouraged her to keep wearing what she wanted.
“He didn’t appreciate what you have to offer as a woman,” wrote one fan. “It’s his loss.”
Others said he was totally wrong about the dress, anyway.
“Makes you look expensive, not slutty,” one person wrote.
“Looks classy, like you’d be sipping on some wine,” someone else agreed.
Everyone was in consensus that Okamoto looked stunning. “Dude, respectfully, you’re gorgeous,” said one admirer.
“Glad you got out of that relationship,” said another fan. “You rock!”
Many women said, unfortunately, they could relate to Okamoto’s relationship experience.
“What an insecure, messed up guy,” wrote one woman. “So glad you got out of that and are living your best life!”
“Had a guy say ‘If you’re wearing that, I’m not going,’” another woman shared.
She remembered that conversation didn’t end well for her now-ex, either. “I just walked out and he begged me back crying,” she said. “Hard NO.”
