Immorality: Nollywood’s upcoming actress recounts ordeal with producer O ne of Nigeria’s upcoming actresses, Olaitan Ogungbile has revealed her ugly experience with a sex seeking movie producer. The beautiful lady, who is now a face to reckon with in
Nollywood explained to Nigeriafilms.com that she was highly molested in the hands of some producers who all wanted to sleep with her for a movie role, an act she totally declined.
According to her, “For a long time this producer was disturbing me about dating, but I refused. So one day, he called me that I should come to Lagos, because then I was in Ife. I was still in school. I told him I
didn’t have money to make the journey, but he said, no problem, just come, after all you are coming to work and you will be paid. I packed my things and I came to Lagos. I got in early and met them at the location. But throughout that day, I didn’t work. When we got to the hotel, I asked of my room and he showed me the room. He came in with me. I told him I was hungry and he ordered for two plates of food and the next thing he removed his clothes. I asked why he was doing that and he said he was sleeping in the room. Then I asked him where I was going to
sleep, and he said here of course. And I said no, that we were not going to share the same room. I was really very furious and talking aloud. So he said I shouldn’t take it overboard that he will ask them to arrange another room for me and he did. So I went to sleep in my room. Funny enough, he didn’t even bring my food to me. I didn’t eat that night. The following day I didn’t shoot any movie. Someone that promised me transport fare, he didn’t give me a kobo. So I left and went back to school. He’s not the only one. They are many,” she concluded.
