shell. Atleast Emeka is a known Nollywood actor,
so it's not like he wants fame or something. In a
new interview, Emeka explains why producers
hate him and how he saved a girl called Esther
from sexual harassment. He says she is alive and
anyone can go and ask her if it is true or not.
“If you knock at their office and you can’t sleep
with them, you won't be allowed to act. Is it fair to
tell a girl that ‘if I don’t sleep with you, you won’t
get my favour?’ if God does that to us, where
would we be today? This situation is a general
norm. Ask the smallest artiste about my position
on the situation. I have stopped productions
severally because of this (s3xual harassment).
That’s why sometimes they get issues with me.
Continue below.
“There was a day I saw a girl crying at a corner of
a movie set, her name is Esther. She is a make-up
artiste now because she has stopped acting for
them (emphasis).
“I approached her and asked why she was crying.
She was lamenting like a girl who has just lost her
mother. She told me that ‘look at the girl going
with my script, that ugly animal. The producer
said if I can’t sleep with him, I can’t get the script.
“She mentioned the name of the person. So
because she can’t sleep with that man, she has to
be marginalized, Kai! I have something against
that. If a girl wants to sleep with you because you
are a star or because she likes you, so be it. Don’t
arm-twist someone, that is rape. Abroad, they will
go to jail for even suggesting it to her.
"You need to be responsible and responsive to the
young people you have exposed acting to. You
need to stand up and fight for them. Right now,
they are interested in acting and there is no place
to go to. They go to Ajao and they tell them open
your legs, is that what we made the industry for?
“I gave the lady her artiste fee that day. Go to
Enugu and ask of Esther, the make-up artiste. She
will tell you about this story. That is why they
don’t like me.”
