Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Mercy Aigbe has narrated how her sexual harassment experience almost cost her career in the movie industry.


In a recent interview with ‘Your View’ on TVC, Mercy Aigbe recalled how she had auditioned for a role with a producer who offered her a minor role instead of the one she had auditioned for.


When she questioned this, the producer said she needed to be close to him to be considered for the role she had originally wanted.

She said: “I once met a producer in Surulere, and I expressed to him how much I would love to act. He told me he had an upcoming film, and invited me to his office for an audition. I passed three stages of the audition. After the last audition, I was given a minor role. I told him that was not the character I was auditioning for, and he replied that the director said he did not know me, and that was why he said I should be close to him (the producer).”

Mercy Aigbe felt this was inappropriate and that she was being sexually harassed.
