“If At Anytime In Your Career You Succumbed To S**ual Harassment, That Doesn’t Mean You’ll Shove It Down Our Throat”- Actress Replies Destiny Etiko Over Recent Comment

Actress, Ifemeludike has slammed her colleague, Destiny Etiko over her recent interview about s*xual harassment.

Destiny Etiko, Speaking in a chat with Vanguard, she said that although s*xual har*ssment is indeed a thing in the industry, succumbing to it is a matter of choice.

According to her,

“S*xual har*ssment is everywhere, not just in Nollywood and I won’t lie to you that I’ve never experienced it, because I have. There are people who would want to deprive you of the role given to you because you didn’t sleep with them.

Some will even sleep with you and still not give you the role. So, it is left for you to know yourself and know your job. If you can act well, your blessing will locate you.”

Reacting to her statement, Actress Ifemeludike wrote:

“If at anytime in your career journey you accepted sexual harassment as a choice that doesn’t mean you’ll shove it down the throat of society, pls as a public figure we better be careful what we encourage. @destinyetikoofficial Please don’t down play the act of sexually harassing young girls intercepting our struggle with these perverts and exonerating their evil act, you could say it’s personal opinion but in this context I think it’s better to personalise it as “your” choice. I understand how something we need to sound political to remain in the job that pays but let’s be clear that karma is a bitch, she may visit our daughters in future. We shouldn’t get into conversations we ain’t ready to be absolutely truthful about. Let us call a spade a spade so our society can progress and we may not need to beg money on Instagram 🤦🏽‍♀️…Imagine stopping someone on their way to their destiny-nation just because you got their before them or have an upper hand then you try to take advantage of them? That’s evil!”
