She, however, admitted that the act is not limited to only actresses in the entertainment industry, as their male counterparts face similar challenges but do not openly talk about it like the ladies
She said, “I think every girl has faced sexual harassment in Nollywood, even a girl that is not so freaky has been sexually harassed.
“The way people talk to you, things that people send to you, and some little physical things that have happened before. Some very stupid guys have tried to do certain things. This art industry sef is just hiding a lot of them, that’s the truth.
“A lot of people want to be actors, actresses and some men in the industry are taking advantage of girls and it goes the other way too but I feel like guys do not complain as much as ladies.
“Maybe a female producer or director says something to them, they don’t complain, they like it but you know girls, we are more sensitive to things like this and it’s more on us actually. Everybody has faced that. In this acting industry, a lot of girls have faced that,”
She also described the qualities she looks out for in the opposite sex when she wants to go into a romantic relationship.
“My turn off in a relationship is dishonesty and lack of respect. I also look out for someone that is hardworking, supportive, loving, and caring basically.” she narrated.
Mummy Wa, who is well endowed with the right curves in the right places, was also asked if she would like to change anything in her looks if given the opportunity.
She said, “I don’t think there’s anything to change about myself. Sometimes, I might feel depressed by the fact that I don’t like the attention I get because of the way I look but at the same time, there are days that I actually do feel sexy and love the way I look even if people look at me with their lustful eyes.
“I like myself and I don’t think there’s anything I want to change. I think I’ve been perfectly created the way I’m supposed to be.”
