Meagan Good Addresses Harsh Criticism Regarding Her BET Awards Dress

Deception actress Meagan Good came under harsh criticism for her "revealing" dress that she donned at the 2013 BET Awards on Sunday. Twitter & Instagram users immediately began slandering Good when she walked on stage to present the BET Award for Best Gospel Artist stating that she should've worn something more "appropriate" for the award she was presenting.

After seeing the negative feedback she got for her attire, Meagan responded:

"I’m not any less holy because the dress I wore -I may not be who people think I should be -but I’m morphing into exactly who God wants me to be.. My excuse is never “I’m going to do me” and I don’t feel that I need to make an excuse or defend or what I wore .. I know I have a responsibility -and I’m working daily to fulfill the full potential of all God has created me to be..

A dialogue was started about my character, integrity, my walk with God and my Husband -simply based on a dress that I wore.., Of course I’m going to have a reaction to people saying negative things… It’s just sad.. Makes me sad not regretful.. My heart and spirit is always open to whatever my Father would want to share with me… And my spirit tells me to be exactly who I authentically am -because that’s what’s going to reach who I was authentically designed to touch.. people like me who are often misunderstood and told their cut of God’s promise -because they don’t look the role …when God doesn’t care about us “looking the role”..he is always cared about bringing us in -and us being whatever we need to be to bring Those left out in ..

And it just makes me sad that us as Christians can’t see beyond our initial reaction and don’t seek God before the attack other brothers and sisters …and never think for one moment that: God knows what he’s doing and he uses everything for his glory .. and he has a plan for every specific situation.. I had intentions on anything .. Merely picked a dress I saw and loved … God knows my heart and that I didn’t do anything wrong .. And he will use even people’s thoughts to bring him glory.”

There were also people stating that she should've worn something more conservative simply because her husband, Devon Franklin, is a pastor. Devon however, has shown that he is very supportive of Meagan & her outfit choices, & knows that she's bound to get some feedback, but stands by her side regardless of the negativity being thrown their way. 

This situation was taken completely too far by viewers. It's an awards show; celebrities are free to wear whatever they feel comfortable in & whatever makes them feel beautiful. If people were more secure with themselves & their own bodies, I highly doubt that Meagan's dress would have been such an issue.
