Russell Wilson's wife Ciara slammed for shaming single women and telling them to act like wives to get a man
Ciara slammed for shaming single women (Getty Images) In January 2018, singer Ciara stirred a storm of debate on social media after she shared a sermon clip by Pastor John Gray encouraging women to embrace 'wife energy' if they wanted to attract a husband. What seemed like motivational advice quickly escalated into a cultural flashpoint — prompting both fierce criticism and passionate support. Ciara's 'Level Up' advice for single women sparked major backlash In the Instagram post, Ciara captioned a clip from Gray's sermon with: '#LevelUp. Don't Settle.' In the video, Gray states:'Too many women want to be married but you're walking in the spirit of 'girlfriend.''He continues, 'You're not a wife when I marry you, you're a wife when I find you… A wife is not the presence of a ring, it's the presence of your character.' The post was widely interpreted as Ciara telling single women that their lack of romantic success was due to their failure to "act like wives." Fans accused Ciara of judgment and hypocrisy Ciara's advice came under fire quickly. Many pointed to her previous relationship with rapper Future — which ended in a very public and painful breakup — and called her tone tone-deaf now that she was happily married to NFL star Russell Wilson . One viral tweet criticized her for preaching from a 'throne': 'You can be the queen of the ball today and have cake in your face tomorrow!' Another added, 'Didn't you need grace, mercy & compassion when you were being dragged up and down the Internet for the Future situation?' Ciara's heartfelt response: growth, not judgment Facing the heat, Ciara responded with a heartfelt Instagram post explaining the context behind her message. 'I was one that girl wanting to be loved a certain way but was making the wrong choices… I needed to love myself.' She emphasized that her 'level up' mindset came from self-love and personal growth, not judgment.
