Popular Nigerian Nollywood Actress, Jumoke George has disclosed reasons she stopped acting for 14 years, saying there is high demand for sex in the industry.
Speaking in an interview on Oyinmomo TV, the ace actress said she had challenges facing her acting career, saying it is nothing but ‘sex’.
Jumoke who is Yoruba by tribe, dark in complexion, beautiful and elegant said her refusal to exchange sex for roles led to her long quit from the career.
She said: “My dark complexion was not the only setback I faced in my career. Another reason why I did not get movie roles for like 14 years is my refusal to sleep around. When directors complained that I was too dark and I would tell them to add my lightning to the scene to make me look lighter.
“You can’t push me to do something I do not want to do. I will glow with this skin till old age and do not forget, black does not crack. I started issues when about 20 to 30 executives wanted sex in exchange for roles.
“And i said, as long as God exists, I would not find myself in such space. I didn’t get any movie roles for three years, and I did not understand what was happening until the day I saw one of our directors at Feminine Cafe at LTV 8, and asked him why he no longer called me for work.
“He then told me that their group of directors have decided not to give me roles and I was like why? He said it was because you refused to sleep with them. I just started crying and when I got home, I prayed to God to take control.”
