I have suffered sexual harassment in Nollywood – actress

Content creator and actress, Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Kemz Mama or Mummy Wa has revealed her experience with sexual harassment in the film industry.

Sharing her experiences during her appearance on the ‘WithChude podcast’ with Chude Jideonwo, Kemz Mama said she received unwanted sexual advances from filmmakers while trying to establish her career.

The content creator said she rejected the advances because she knew they wouldn’t guarantee her the role she wanted.

Mummy Wa also emphasised that no woman is immune to sexual harassment in the industry, regardless of physical appearance.

“Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things. They are requesting for a whole lot of things that I cannot do. 

“Where do I want to start from? Me that I’m already coming from a place where they tell me ‘this thing will not work’. How many people do I want to sleep with?

“To be honest, you might actually sleep with somebody in the industry and you will still not blow with the role they will give you. I saw a lot of men. But guess what? Even the slim ones that don’t have anything, they are still asking for things from them.

“No woman is free. No woman is immune. But me, I cannot do it.”

Mummy Wa became famous in 2023, following her appearance on Mr Macaroni’s skits.

Sharing her experiences, the actress explained that she received unwanted sexual advances from filmmakers while trying to establish her career.

Last year, she revealed how she secured her first role in Mr Macaroni’s comedy.
