Nollywood actor and director, Charles Inojie, has expressed concerns about a group of actresses in the industry whom he believes have negative motives. He asserts that there is a presence of individuals with ulterior motives, describing them as “Jezebel daughters,” who have infiltrated the Nigerian film industry.
Inojie suggests that these actresses aim to seduce directors and producers in exchange for roles in movies. He emphasizes that the issue of exchanging sexual favors for roles is not limited to just filmmakers but also involves some actresses who actively pursue such arrangements to secure movie roles.
His comments were made during an interview on The Honest Bunch Podcast, which was co-hosted by Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu. Inojie’s remarks highlight ongoing discussions and concerns within the Nigerian entertainment industry regarding unethical practices and sexual harassment.
“There are some actresses who can do anything just to be in front of the camera. And when you meet a character who is not properly formed as the director or producer, he will fall. So, there are actresses like that. The issue of s3x-for-role is not just one-way. It is a two-way thing.
“There is also an army of Jezebel daughters looking for directors and producers to fall… So, the level of desperation among some of these girls is also an issue.
“That’s why they are quick to fall into the booby traps set by a lot of producers and directors with characters that are not properly formed; people who came from very shaky backgrounds.”
