Nigerian skit maker and actress, Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Mummy Wa, has shared her personal experience with sexual harassment in the movie industry.

She discussed this issue during her appearance on the ‘WithChude podcast’ hosted by Chude Jideonwo.

Mummy Wa, who rose to fame in 2023 through her role in Mr. Macaroni’s skits, explained that while trying to build her career, she faced unwanted sexual advances from filmmakers. She revealed, “Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things. They are requesting for a whole lot of things that I cannot do.”

Mummy Wa went on to express the difficulty of navigating around sexual harassment in Nollywood, adding, “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?”

Mummy Wa further emphasized the harsh reality of sexual harassment in the industry, saying, “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.” She also pointed out that even those who may not have much to offer still face similar pressure. “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,” she shared.

Concluding her statement, she made it clear that no woman is exempt from such experiences but firmly stated, “No woman is free. No woman is immune. But I can’t do it.”
