Nollywood actress, Lola Faduri popularly called Adetoun L’America has cleared the air on the notion of sexual promiscuity and waywardness in the Nigerian movie industry.
The actress cum medical doctor while addressing the notion said waywardness exist everywhere.
The actress in a chat with The Nation said: “Well, I don’t know about that. There’s no industry that does not have wayward people as you mentioned, so it’s not only in our industry.
“It happens everywhere and in every career but just because we are role models, people tend to think there should be perfection in Nollywood.”
She further added: “I do not see or know any wayward colleague but if some of them are actually wayward, then it’s very bad.”
The actress while speaking on perceptions that Nollywood actresses marriage doesn’t last based on their wayward attitude said: “Some people marry late for reasons best known to them, not because of waywardness. Actually, there are two sides to it.
“Some men are reluctant to marrying female actors because of the fame and they think they cannot control them; this could lead to female actors marrying late.”
Faduri posited that some men marry the female actors not out of love but for the love of stardom, “on the other side most men that eventually marry them for the stardom part and not real love which eventually leads to divorce in no time except the very few God-fearing men.
“Yes, I could start mentioning happily married female actors that don’t have any problem in their marriages. There is a lot of us.”
