Sex for Roles led to my Prolong Absence from Featuring in Movies – Actress Jumoke

Popular Nollywood actress, Jumoke George has disclosed that her dark complexion and refusal to exchange sex for roles led to her absence from featuring in movies. She spoke during an interview on Oyinmomo TV.

“My dark complexion was not the only setback I faced in my career. Another reason why I did not get movie roles for like 14 years is my refusal to sleep around. When directors complained that I was too dark I would tell them to add my lightning to the scene to make me look lighter.

“You can’t push me to do something I do not want to do. I will glow with this skin till old age and do not forget, black does not crack. I started having issues when about 20 to 30 executives wanted sex in exchange for roles.

“And I said, as long as God exists, I would not find myself in such space. I didn’t get any movie roles for three years, and I did not understand what was happening until the day I saw one of our directors at Feminine Cafe at LTV 8, and asked him why he no longer called me for work.”

She continued, “He then told me that their group of directors had decided not to give me roles, and I was like, why? He said it was because you refused to sleep with them. I just started crying and when I got home, I prayed to God to take control.”
