A Man Came to My Hotel Room at 2am in the Midnight and Said He Wanted to Sleep With Me –Olayemi Seyanju
A disturbing incident has been revealed by Yoruba Nollywood actress, Olayemi Seyanju, who recently opened up about a harrowing experience she had with a senior figure in the Nigerian movie industry.
In a candid interview on FeelRightNews TV, Seyanju recounted a late-night visit from the industry figure, who appeared at her hotel room at 2:00 a.m. with unprofessional intentions.
According to Seyanju, the man had been exhibiting suggestive behavior on set earlier that day, which she had initially dismissed as harmless or playful.
However, when he turned up at her hotel room under the cover of darkness, it became clear that his intentions were far from innocent. Seyanju revealed that she had believed the visit was related to work, but was shocked to discover that the man’s true intentions were entirely different.
In a display of courage and conviction, Seyanju stood firm and made it clear to the man that she was not interested in exchanging sexual favors for roles or any form of professional advancement.
The actress emphasized that she does not condone or participate in such practices, and remained resolute in her principles, despite the uncomfortable situation.
The incident took a surprising turn when the man, seemingly taken aback by Seyanju’s refusal, ended up spending the night on the floor of her room, unable to carry out his intentions.
According to Seyanju, she had made it clear to him that she was not the kind of person who engages in “sex for movie roles,” and that it was ultimately her choice to refuse or accept such propositions.
Seyanju’s revelation has brought to light the often-unspoken challenges faced by women in the Nigerian movie industry. While the actress maintained that “no one forces women to sleep with anyone for roles” and that it is ultimately a personal choice, her experience highlights the uncomfortable realities that many women in the industry may face.
The incident has sparked a renewed conversation about the need for a safer and more professional working environment in Nollywood, where women can work without fear of harassment or exploitation.
Seyanju’s bravery in sharing her story is a step towards creating a more open and honest dialogue about the challenges faced by women in the industry.
As the Nigerian movie industry continues to grow and evolve, it is hoped that Seyanju’s revelation will serve as a catalyst for change, promoting a culture of respect and professionalism on set and beyond.
