Nollywood actress, Temitayo Adeniyi, has revealed that male entertainers also suffer from ‘sex for gigs’ issue and it’s not limited to female entertainers only.
The veteran actress made the revelation while speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats.
She said, “Sex for gigs in the entertainment industry is a tale as old as time. And, that doesn’t only apply to the female gender alone.
“Men are actually not left out. Also, it is not limited to the entertainment industry. It happens in all sectors where male and female coexist.
“In the entertainment industry, it is mostly a case of two consenting adults. Whatever advances thrown at one can either be rejected or accepted; it is solely dependent on the individual. If it is otherwise, then it becomes a case of force.”
Speaking on her absence from the movie scene for some time, she stated that she took a break from acting, because she wanted to explore the world, acquire more knowledge, and focus on her businesses and investments.
Adeniyi when asked about the changes she would like to see in Nollywood, the light-skinned role interpreter said, “In recent times, there have been quite a lot of remarkable advancements in the Nigerian entertainment industry, and we are all proud of it. READ ALSO:
