Biodun Okeowo, a Nigerian actress has responded to the controversy of her semi-nude picture online.
The actress had posted a photo in which she was in bed with a male co-star who had a hand on her chest. Her comments section was full of unhappy fans who felt the picture was immoral.
The actress speaking to the Sunday Scoop said she was only being professional and that there was nothing wrong with the photo in her opinion.
She said: “The picture was taken on the set of a movie, Blackmail. I featured in the movie alongside other actors such as Liz Da Silva, Joseph Jayeoba, Adeniyi Johnson, among others. I didn’t see the comments claiming that the picture was immoral because once there are over 50 comments on my post, I don’t read them anymore. Even if I had read them, I wouldn’t have felt sad because I was doing my job. I was only being professional. I have no regret posting the picture.”
She also stated that she was not one to flaunt her body and rather she was just being herself
“I don’t agree that I always flaunt my body; I am just being me. Some people ask if I have to turn my back whenever I take pictures, and I wonder how I would snap pictures without doing that. No matter how I pose, the gifts God gave me would show. If a slim person should pose sideways for a picture, I’m sure that nobody would complain; but if I do the same, people would say all sorts.” she said
