However, addressing concerns from fans who have been questioning her sudden disappearance, the actress attributed her absence to the sexual pressure she faced from marketers.
According to her: “Marketers were the reason I left the industry after blacklisting me for refusing to remove my panties.
“They told producers to stop featuring me and went as far as removing my photo from the poster of a film in which I played the lead role. How many of their wicked actions should I even talk about?
“They did so much damage to my career that I eventually got tired of acting and walked away myself.
“I developed so much hatred for a job I once had a great passion for that I began to turn down roles.
“That’s a story for another day, but God will judge evildoers. Thank God I’m a living testimony today! I’m doing extremely well.”
