Nollywood veteran Ngozi Ezeonu has made headlines today after publicly reprimanding two young aspiring actresses for showing up ‘bra-less’ and wearing crop tops to an audition.
The incident occurred during an open casting call, and her comments quickly sparked a heated online debate.
In a video circulating on social media, the celebrated actress was seen addressing the young girls in front of the gathered crowd.
She pointed at their outfits, specifically scolding them for being braless.
“See eh, any other day I’m on any audition table and I see a lady dressed like this (touching the adhesive and asking them to turn to the public), I will disqualify you. How can you come to an audition without a bra with your crop top? It’s wrong. Who are you trying to impress? That’s why people think we are not serious people. I’m a serious-minded actor. You can’t catch me wearing this even when I was your age. You carry breast, and leave breast without a bra. Ah ah why?” she said.
The two girls involved have yet to comment on the incident, but the video has opened up broader discussions on Nollywood’s evolving standards and how older and younger generations can bridge their differences.
