Actresses Sexually Harass, Blackmail Producers To Get Roles—Ken Okafor
It is no longer news that actresses claim movie producers request for sex from them in exchange for movie roles, especially the up and coming stars.
However, most producers have severally debunked such claims, saying there is no iota of truth in the allegations.
Speaking recently, a Nollywood filmmaker, Ken Jewel Okafor, said in an interview with Punch that most actresses blackmail them with sexual harassment allegations.
“When I was shooting my first movie, 'Dangerous Licence', I got a call from an actress asking me where I was. I told her I was in my hotel room. She said she really wanted to see me but I told her we would see on set the next morning as it was late at night. She insisted that it was an emergency and pleaded with me to give her the address of my hotel.
“Reluctantly, I gave her the address. I met her at the bar and she was seductively dressed. She said she needed to be in the movie and came to do her own audition in my room. She said she would have oral sex with me and make my night. I felt pity for her and asked why she was doing this and she said it was the way to rise in the industry. Out of pity, I cast her in my movie and urged her not to let sex become the key to her career. It was quite an awkward moment for me,” Ken narrated.
He, however, said that it is natural and human for a producer to find an actress attractive and ask her for a date, but when the actress isn't forced to accept such, he can't define that as sexual harassment.
