In a sensational Sunday interview with the Sun Newspaper, award-winning Nigerian actress Bimbo Ademoye dropped bombshell revelations about the dark side of the film industry.
According to Ademoye, the moment she stepped into the limelight, producers were eager to exploit her body for their own gain. They wanted her to play seductive roles, the sexy secretary, the husband-snatcher, and the boyfriend-stealer. But this rising star had other plans.
Thanks to the support and mentorship of senior colleague Uduak Isong, Ademoye managed to navigate the treacherous terrain of the Nigerian film industry without compromising her integrity. She proudly revealed that she never engaged in sexual relationships with producers to secure roles—a rare feat in an industry plagued by such practices.
Ademoye’s candid advice to aspiring actresses is simple but powerful: Protect your body and never succumb to the pressure of trading your dignity for fame. The Nollywood industry may present challenges, but it is essential to stand firm and refuse to sleep with anybody in exchange for roles.
The screen diva further shared her gratitude for Uduak Isong, who played a pivotal role in her career. Isong served as a guiding light and a maternal figure, shielding Ademoye from the dark forces that lurk behind closed doors.
