Veteran Nollywood actress Moji Afolayan has revealed that she was blacklisted by movie marketers after rejecting their sexual advances.
In a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, which gained attention on Wednesday, the 57-year-old actress—daughter of the late legendary actor Adeyemi ‘Adeluv’ Afolayan—shared how her refusal to participate in the “casting couch” practice affected her career.
“At that time, when we had marketers in Idumota, they would provide money to producers for projects. However, due to the values I was raised with, I cannot trade my body for roles. My husband, who married me, has not made any demands,” she explained, choosing her words carefully to avoid making direct accusations.
Moji alleged that after she declined the advances, a meeting was held among the marketers to stop offering her job opportunities. “Because I did not comply, they convened a meeting among themselves to not call me for roles. I did not sleep with them, nor did I offer my body for sex,” she stated.
She also claimed that some married actresses participated in these arrangements, misleading their husbands in the process.
