Ever since she professed her love for Jesus Christ and got married to a preacher man, Meagan Good has found herself the target of fake ass Bible-thumpers looking to catch the actress in a “gotcha” moment. As in, “Oh, you love the Lord, but you’re twerking in that movie? HOE!”

The latest instance of this annoying trend is them nitpicking her dress at this year’s BET Awards. Listen, Meagan looked good, and unless she was rubbing her nipples on TV while reading the nominees for the gospel award, I don’t get the big deal.

However, Meagan did respond to those critics on Instagram (by way of Necole Bitchie):

… my spirit is saddened that our people only know one way to think and process things.. 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 ..
