Sexual Harrastment makes me to abandoned acting for a while- Sotayo Sobola

Sexual harassment
is everywhere, not just in Nollywood, it
happens everywhere even in Churches and
Mosques. It now depends on you to make a
decision if you want to buy into it or not.
Yes o, except I want to lie. That was a long
time ago, like in 2004; it has happened to me
before but I’m not going to mention names. I
know one day I’m going to run into that
person and look straight into his eyes again
I’ll give you an example. You’ve been cast for
a role, you’ve been given the role and the next
thing you hear is: ‘If you know you can’t come
and meet me in my hotel room or come and
date me then you should bring back my
script’. It was part of the reason why I
stopped acting English movies. I just stopped
acting and went to complete my education. I
had a diploma in Law from Lagos State
University and got my first degree in Public
Administration from Onabisi Onabanjo
University. Because of sexual harassment I
just stopped everything that had to do with
entertainment. I was so discouraged.
You’re being casted for a role and because
you refused to sleep with a producer or
something, next minute you won’t even know,
you’ll just hear that they’ve started shooting
the job or they ask you to bring back the
script for someone else.

Vanguard.
