Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo has finally spoken out about why she left the Yoruba movie industry, revealing that she was blacklisted by industry marketers for refusing their advances.
In a post on her social media page, the actress accused marketers of sabotaging her career because she refused to sleep with them. According to her, they pressured producers to stop casting her in movies and even went as far as removing her head from a film poster where she played the lead role.
Expressing her frustration, Biodun questioned how much of their wickedness she should expose, stating that their actions made her lose interest in acting, despite her deep passion for it.
"Marketers were the reason I left the movie industry after blacklisting me for refusing to remove my panties. They even told producers to stop featuring me in movies and went as far as removing my head from the poster of a film where I played the lead role. How many of their wicked actions should I even talk about? They did so much damage to my career that I eventually got tired of acting and walked away by myself. I developed so much hatred for a job I once had so much passion for that I began to turn jobs down.”
