Nigerian skit maker and actress, Kemi Ikuseedun, better known as Mummy Wa has spoken about her experience with sexual harassment in the movie industry.
The skit maker during a chat on ‘WithChude podcast’ said she experienced unwelcome sexual approaches from filmmakers while trying to establish her career.
Mummy wa stated that she turned down the offers because she knew they wouldn’t guarantee her the role she desired.
She said, “Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things. They are requesting for a whole lot of things that I cannot do.
“Where do I want to start from? Me that I’m already coming from a place where they tell me ‘this thing will not work’. How many people do I want to sleep with?
“To be honest, you might actually sleep with somebody in the industry and you will still not blow with the role they will give you. I saw a lot of men. But guess what? Even the slim ones that don’t have anything, they are still asking for things from them.
“No woman is free. No woman is immune. But I can’t do it.”
Mummy Wa, giving a reality check about Nollywood, revealed that this unwanted advance is a common obstacle a lot of upcoming actresses face.
