Nollywood veteran Taiwo Hassan has spoken on relationships within the theatre industry, stating that romantic involvement between senior actors and their apprentices is not wrong as long as it is consensual.
In an interview with Feelrightvnews, the actor explained that such relationships should only be acceptable when there is no form of pressure or coercion, stressing that mutual agreement is key.
“It’s not a crime for a boss to ask his apprentice out, contentment is satisfaction. there’s not suppose to be problem in a boss dating his apprentice as long as he didn’t force her. some girls do learn theatre because they want to date the boss. When i was at Odunfa then, some girls come because of Yinka Quadri, some because of me and some because of Abbey Lanre. you can come to me and i will ask if you don’t mind if we can be into ourselves, there’s nothing bad in it,” he said.
