Hear her;
“Of course, I got sex-for-roles advances from producers.
Even now, some producers and directors will tell you, you have to sleep with them so they can give you a lead role.
I am not one to take such offers because if I have to sleep with you to get a role, that means the role isn’t meant for me.
“I am a good actress and I can deliver.
Why then would I need to sleep with someone in order to get a role?
If I have to compromise to get it, I don’t want it.”
In other news, Popular Nollywood actress and fashion designer, Didi Ekanem, known for her voluptuous body,
has revealed that she once battled insecurity because of her physique.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, the actress also said she had been judged quite
“harshly” by some people who thought she had a sugar daddy because of her looks.
She explained,
“Some people usually judge me because of my body.
Some people assume that I must be a ‘runs girl’ or that I have a sugar daddy sponsoring me.
Some people just feel that I am a bad girl and I think it’s a general
perception once some people see curvy and voluptuous ladies.
It’s painful to me because I am not that type of lady at all.
I would not even date a married man for anything.
I’m very blessed to have a supportive father and family, and I always take them into consideration in all my dealings.
Even though my family is not with me in Lagos, there is no room for misbehaviour.
