Meagan Good has responded to all the critics who scrutinized the hip hugging, very low plunging blue dress she wore to the BET Awards. Many of her fans, especially Christians, were displeased with her choice of attire especially because she was at the event presenting the award for Best Gospel Artist. Here is what Meagan had to say:
Via Instagram:
… 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 ..
Meagan Good is married to Hollywood executive and preacher DeVon Franklin.

Honey hush, she knows there is NOTHING wrong with the dress – its her lack of undergarment that has people saying WOW!
if she were in church w/that dress, the elder women would’ve put a towel/scarf over those pointed girls….
She’s married now & I feel must represent her husband in the most uplifting way possible!

That dress was so inappropriate on her it wasn’t funny. I agree with Sassy the proper under garments would have made it look a lot better. I can’t believe she looked in the mirror and thought her sagging breasts looked good in that dress. She need nipple covers and duct tape. She could have thrown on B. Scott’s outfit that BET made him change from.

i agree on the undergarments as well… some nipple shields and bringing that neckline up a few inches would have def given the dress a more classy look. she knew this dress would get the ppl talking… isnt she promoting TLAM2?
