I Refused Their Sexual Advances Veteran Actress Moji Afolayan Reveals Reason For Being Blacklisted
Veteran Nollywood actress, Moji Afolayan, has cited her refusal to accept marketers sexual advances in the movie industry, as the reason for her being blacklisted.
The movie star, while speaking in a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, revealed that she was usually offered roles before, but since her refusal to honour their sexual advances, they decided to ignore her completely.
She claimed that her colleagues are involved in the act of sleeping in exchange for roles, but she emphasized that she has a strong principle against it.
She, however, noted that it affected her fame, and income, but she strongly stands for what she believes in.
She said: "Before now, marketers used to give producers money to work. But because I refused their sexual advances, they held a meeting among themselves and agreed not to call me for work.
“I did not sleep with any of them because I can’t trade my body for films. It’s my principle. I know they will watch this interview. Many of those doing it will go with their husbands and have them wait outside while they go inside to meet marketers. I’m exposing their secrets now.
Marketers made them stars. Their posters were all around. But I thank God that I stood with my dignity. That is what I am enjoying today. They denied me movie roles because I didn’t offer myself for sex.
Although it affected my income and fame, but I cherish my body more than every other thing. Even my husband knows.
“They now know how it feels because they have made us social media friendly. We now pushed our movies on YouTube without any marketers."
