How Actresses make themselves attractive to rape – Dayo Amusa

Nollywood actress and singer, Dayo Amusa has stated that her female colleagues make themselves vulnerable to sexual harassment by movie producers and directors.

In an interview with The Nation, Amusa maintains that actresses especially the up and coming run after these movie producers and directors.

The actress disclosed that she has never been sexually harassed by anyone in the Nigerian movie industry and also noted that every adult has the right to turn down predatory men. She said;

“No, I have not but something similar happened to me in my early years.

“A director might see an upcoming actress and say I like you but you cannot be forced and it is so sad that these upcoming actresses are coming to fire the directors and producers to have their way.

“It’s not that the directors are the one taking advantage of them. Even the so-called girls as well come in making themselves vulnerable to the producers to get roles fast. So it takes two to tango.”

Born in Lagos, Dayo is the first child in a family of Five.  She attended Mayflower School, Ikene. Dayo studied Food Science and Technology at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic before commencing her acting career in 2002. Although she acts mostly in Yoruba language films of Nollywood, she has also acted in English language films.
