Bimbo Ademoye exposes coworkers and discusses sex-for-role in her essay How Filmmakers Wanted to Take Advantage of My Beautiful Body.
Award-winning Nigerian actress Bimbo Ademoye recently revealed that numerous film producers wanted to take advantage of her body but she refused.
In an interview with the Sun Newspaper on Sunday, the actor made this revelation.
Bimbo added that many actors encounter problems once they break into the field, but in her case, everything got off to a good start.
She said that a senior coworker named Uduak Isong helped her by taking care of her so she could break into the Nigerian film industry.
Ademoye acknowledged that she had never exchanged roles for sexual connections with producers.
Young women who wish to work in Nollywood were encouraged by the screen diva to take care of their bodies and make sure that they never sleep with anyone in return for roles.
Added Bimbo Ademoye:
"To be completely honest, everyone wanted to use the body. Everyone wanted me to portray the attractive secretary, the woman who kidnaps a man, or the woman who kidnaps another person's guy. I can honestly claim that I've had a lot of luck.
I entered the field by Uduak Isong. I've never slept with anyone for that reason, and I've never had the problems that come with sleeping with producers because of roles. When I first started, she was more like a mother to me.
