Nollywood actress Chidiebere Aneke spoken out about the issue of producers demanding sex for movie roles in the industry. Aneke shared her own experience in a recent interview, saying that she has never encountered such a situation herself. However, there have been countless stories from other actors and actresses who claim to have been asked for sex in exchange for a role in a movie. Aneke's advice to these individuals is to stop using the "backdoor" to gain what they want and to refrain from entering producers' rooms when they have no legitimate reason to be there.
According to Aneke, her experience in the industry has been "great and wonderful" overall, although she acknowledges that it has not been without its challenges. Nevertheless, she remains grateful for everything that has come her way.
The issue of sexual harassment and exploitation in the film industry is not a new one, with numerous high-profile cases coming to light in recent years. While it is encouraging to see more people speaking out against this kind of behavior, it is clear that more needs to be done to create a safe and equitable working environment for everyone in the industry.
