Azeezat Shorunmu Reveals How She Escaped Bully And S*xual Harassment From Male Actors

Azeezat Shorunmu, a Nigerian actress and filmmaker, has discussed s*xual harassment in Nollywood.

She claimed that she had been able to dodge unwelcome attempts from male producers by creating scripts. Shorunmu said in a recent interview with Sunday Scoop that those who are too desperate for attention and rapid money are frequently the objects of s*xual harassment.

Shorunmu asserts with pride that her acting career has allowed her to push herself, reach new creative heights, and develop more meaningful relationships with people.

She said, “In the film industry, many fall victim to s3xual harassment when they become desperate for fame, success, quick wealth; or when they fail to think creatively and positively about their careers.

“I was fortunate enough to avoid that fate. I escaped the advances and bullying of male producers by staying true to myself and my principles. It gave me a voice and a level of influence that allowed me to take more control over the roles I chose and the projects I worked on.”

The light-complexioned entrepreneur added that she had a deep passion for writing action-packed stories.

Speaking further on her career, the filmmaker said: “Acting holds a special place in my creative journey. It has been a transformative experience that has allowed me to tap into my imagination in ways I never anticipated. Through acting, I’ve had the opportunity to challenge myself, push my creative boundaries, and connect with others on a much deeper and meaningful level. It has shaped my personal and professional life in profound ways, teaching me invaluable lessons along the way.

“As both an actress and a filmmaker, I have worked on projects such as Etan, Omo Eleso, Pase, Bioreni, Abiwapele, 1990, Our Family, Korikosun Esu, Orisa Eniwumide, Ere Oran, Baoku, Eleni Ina, and many more. Each project has contributed to the diverse portfolio I’m proud to have built.”

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
