Popular Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has shared a shocking experience about losing a movie role after refusing to kiss a director during an audition.
In an interview on the ‘Glasshouse Show’ with comedian AY, Omoni narrated how the incident unfolded when she returned to Nigeria after taking a break from acting to raise her children abroad.
Recalling the situation, Omoni explained, “One director asked me to kiss him at an audition, and I couldn’t understand why he would do that. I asked, ‘Is this an audition?’ and he said ‘Yeah, I just want to see.’ I refused, saying, ‘I can’t do it because I didn’t see any reason to kiss you when we’re not on set.’ As a result, I didn’t get the role, even after travelling for the audition.”
The actress revealed that her decision led to her losing the opportunity, and she had to return home without securing the role.
