A Nollywood Producer Once Asked Me To Pay Him For A Role – Doris Ifeka

Nollywood actress, Doris Ifeka has come out to explain how she managed to avoid being taken advantage of by a producer in the early stage of her acting career.

She recently had her say during an interview, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she will not reveal the filmmaker’s name, but he expressed interest in collaborating with her, while insisting on being paid first before offering her the part.

Doris added that after insisting in return that she was not going to pay for the job, the producer eventually changed his mind and gave her the role without payment.

Her words, “As an actress, it is almost certain that one would experience sexual harassment, because some producers would want to sleep with one before giving one any jobs. So, yes, I have experienced it.

I don’t have a problem with a producer liking an actress. If the feeling is mutual, no problem. What I have an issue with is a producer saying he must sleep with an actress before working with her.

I recall being in such a situation but I won’t mention the name of the person involved. I was still coming up in the industry then. A particular producer wanted us to work together, and he told me to pay him in exchange for a role.

The money the person was demanding for was not much, but I told him I did not have the money at that time. I also told him that if he did not want to work with me until I paid him, I was fine with that. I insisted, and he eventually called me back to play the role, without paying.”
