Kate Henshaw Makes Case For Ngozi Ezeonu For Scolding Braless Upcoming Actresses

Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has defended her senior colleague, Ngozi Ezeonu, amid the backlash over the viral video of her scolding braless upcoming actresses at a movie audition.

Naijaonpoint reported that the movie star was one of the judges sitting at the audition table when two ladies wearing crop tops and leggings came for the audition.

The veteran movie star blasted the girls for their outfits at the audition, which sparked controversy online.

In a video via her Instagram page on Monday, Kate Henshaw slammed those criticizing Ngozi Ezeonu for scolding the girls.

The thespian stated that an audition is an interview for a role, and people cannot just dress like they are on the street.

She further listed some respectable people in the Nollywood industry to illustrate that it is not an ordinary profession, stressing that industry experts should be blamed for making entries easy.

Kate Henshaw said that people who refused to be trained at home would be trained outside.

In her words, “I don’t know what bra did to you, you just want to jangle everywhere, that’s on you. But if you are going somewhere for an interview, an audition is an interview for a role, you don’t dress as if you’re going down the road to buy sugar and groundnuts. I don’t blame them, I blame us for making entries so easy. This is a profession that has Aunty Joke, RMD, Ego Boyo, Aunty Ngozi Ezeonu, Aunty Patience, Aunty Taiwo Ajayi-Lycett, the late Sam Loco Efe, so many greats.

“If they don’t teach you at home, you will be taught outside. Then someone on X app said ‘she’s not their mother or family member to tell them how to dress’ You don’t want to dress well, stay at home. She has every right to say she doesn’t want to see this kind of dressing at her audition, and so it should be. Let’s put some respect on ourselves and what we’re coming to do.”
