Nollywood film director, Victor Okpala who was called out for demanding sex-for-roles, has responded to the allegations levelled against him.
Recall that on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, Okpala was called out on social media, and was accused of using his position in the industry to sexually assault young actresses.
In his reaction to the allegations, the accused film director admitted that he was truly the one in the released chat, but his messages to the accusers were perceived wrongly.
While explaining that his clarification might not do justice to the accusations, Okpala took the blame, thereby saying he has apologised to his accuser.
His response read; “Good morning distinguished colleagues. My attention was called to this chat I had with a lady some days ago. I did have the chat but truly and was way out of line. The massages as I see it now is misleading to say the least. It’s suggestive and can mean many things and for that am sorry.
“I have also apologised to the lady in question. The truth is I NEVER meant it the way of trying to have carnal knowledge of her. This might sound cliche now but it’s the truth. As per the issue of the adult thingy what I meant was that I.was looking for actors who are experienced and mature enough to handle the roles we have. This clarification might not do justice to the accusation but I am really sorry if this was misunderstood. My apologies to the house as I have also extended that to the lady. Thank you.”
With his response, does it mean Okpala is innocent of the allegations?
