Nigerian actor, comedian, movie director and producer, Charles Inojie has said contrary to the impression that only male producers harass actresses sexually, his female colleagues are equally guilty.
The ace filmmaker made this known when he featured on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast co-hosted by Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu.
According to the veteran thespian, there is “an army of Jezebel daughters” in the Nigerian movie industry, whose agenda is to sleep with movie directors and producers in exchange for movie roles.

He went on to assert that the issue of sex-for-role in Nollywood is not perpetrated by just male filmmakers but also some actresses who throw themselves at them.
Speaking during the chat, Charles Inojie said, “There are some actresses who can do anything just to be in front of the camera. And when you meet a character who is not properly formed as the director or producer, he will fall. So, there are actresses like that. The issue of sex-for-role is not just one-way. It is a two-way thing.
“There is also an army of Jezebel daughters looking for directors and producers to fall… So, the level of desperation among some of these girls is also an issue.
“That’s why they are quick to fall into the booby traps set by a lot of producers and directors with characters that are not properly formed; people who came from very shaky backgrounds.”
