Colette Orji
has come a long way in the industry and she hasn't achieved the
success she enjoys today without having the talent to pay for her
passage. Her first film was in 2014 and she had to wait another four
years to have a shot at her first major film.
Colette told me it isn't easy and blew
the whistle on the atrocities going on in the industry. “If
somebody tells you they have never faced sexual harassment in the
industry, it is either they are lying or they don't want to open up
to the press because you guys may blow it out of proportion. You just
can't go through the industry without being sexually harassed” she
said.
“What is happening now is that
marketers don't even pay them any more. What you have to do now is
probably go and screw some rich guys to get money to come and pay the
marketer to feature you in their films. During that time, you feed
yourself, pay your own hotel bills and even costume yourself” she
added
