A-list actress, Monalisa Chinda in a new interview with The Other News, talked about sexual harassment in the movie industry.
According to the mother of one, actresses keep mum about sexual harassment
for fear of stigmatization and the resultant effect on their careers.
In her words
. “It’s a bit uncomfortable for
someone to come out and say I was cornered to sleep with a producer
because of a role,” she said. “They keep quiet about it because of their
careers. Apart from that, the society stigmatizes these women. So you
just swallow your pride. “When you are outside the shores of Africa,
women are heroes for coming out to speak about sexual abuse, but here.” .
Speaking on domestic violence, the actress said:
“As much as I detest all forms of violence against women and men, women
should quit provoking their man by beating punches and slaps. .

.
“I’m a domestic violence [enthusiast]. I always research when I hear
fresh stories about domestic violence. Half the time, it is the women.
“God just gave us this running Okra mouth. Women, don’t fight with
people who are stronger than you.”
