Celebrated Nigerian movie star, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has disclosed that she was never harassed or pressured into giving sex to producers or directors for roles.
Omotola made this revelation during a question-and-answer session at the Woman of Valour event created and organised by ace broadcast journalist, Nana Aba Anamoah.
“I didn’t experience anything like that. I haven’t experienced anything like that in my entire career,” she said.
However, Omotola did not downplay the experiences of female colleagues who have encountered such pressures.
“But I don’t also want to minimise the experiences of some of the other people who have experienced that. And I can’t even blame them. When I was younger, I used to think it was something they did because I didn’t understand it. But now that I’m older, I know that people will solicit for sex from you even when you are a nun.
“You know, they still try to…you know. I’ve seen people even abuse babies,” she added.
