Nigerian skit maker and actress Kemi Ikuseedun, widely known as Mummy Wa, recently opened up about facing sexual harassment in the film industry.
She discussed her experience during an appearance on the ‘WithChude podcast’ with Chude Jideonwo.
According to the reporter, Mummy Wa rose to fame in 2023 after featuring in Mr. Macaroni’s skits.
Reflecting on her journey, the actress revealed that she encountered unwanted advances from filmmakers as she worked to build her career.
Behind the scenes, many people are demanding things from me—things I simply can’t agree to.
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.”
