Nigerian skit maker and actress, Kemi Ikuseedun, also known as Mummy Wa, recently opened up about her encounters with sexual harassment within the film industry.
She disclosed this during her interview on the ‘WithChude podcast’ hosted by Chude Jideonwo.
Mummy Wa gained recognition in 2023 after starring in skits alongside Mr Macaroni.
Reflecting on her journey, she revealed that she had to deal with unwelcome sexual advances from filmmakers as she worked towards building her career.
“Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things. They are requesting for a whole lot of things that I cannot do.
“Where do I want to start from? Me that I’m already coming from a place where they tell me ‘this thing will not work’. How many people do I want to sleep with?
“To be honest, you might actually sleep with somebody in the industry and you will still not blow with the role they will give you. I saw a lot of men. But guess what? Even the slim ones that don’t have anything, they are still asking for things from them.
“No woman is free. No woman is immune. But I can’t do it.”
