Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe Adeoti, has recounted being humiliated to the point she almost gave up on her acting career after leaving a “good paying job” to join Nollywood.

While speaking about the objectification of women during an interview on TVC’s ‘Your View’ with Morayo Afolabi-Brown, the actress said a movie producer had made advances at her after she successfully auditioned for a role at the peak of her career.

“I met a producer in Surulere, and I expressed to him how much I would love to act. He told me he had an upcoming film and invited me to his office for an audition in his office.

“After I had passed three stages of the audition, I was given a minor role, which I told him was not the character I was auditioning for, and he replied that the director said he did not know me, and that was why he wanted me to be close to him.

“He then stood up to touch me. I was very upset and I thought if that was what it took to be an actress, I don’t want to be an actress anymore.

“I tore the script and left. I cried on my way home because I left a well-paying job to join Nollywood, and I was already a single mother at the time,” she said.

She further stated that she didn’t give in despite being humiliated, insulted and pushed to the point where she dusted her CV and was ready to quit the movie industry.

“It took me a while before I tried again”, she added.
