Mummy Wa Shares Harrowing Experience with Sexual Harassment in Nollywood

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

During an appearance on Chude Jideonwo’s “WithChude” podcast, Mummy Wa revealed that she faced unwanted sexual advances from filmmakers while trying to establish her career.

“Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things… 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?” she shared.

Mummy Wa emphasized that even securing roles didn’t guarantee protection from harassment.

“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 defiantly stated, “No woman is free. No woman is immune. But I can’t do it.”
