Popular Nigerian Actress, Damilola Oni, has revealed how some male fans try to sexualize her, sending their manhood through her Instagram page.
While lamenting the online harassment, the screen diva said the shape of her body has given her away to them.
The busty thespian said, “The situation has become a disturbing routine, particularly on social media, where male fans sexualise me due to my body type.
“Early in the morning, when I open my Instagram, men will send me their manhood, saying ‘I am everything you need, baby.’ All sorts of messages are in my inbox from different men, including elderly men.”
She spoke in an interview uploaded on Oyinmomo TV where she spoke about her career and personal experiences in the entertainment industry.
Oni added that some individuals go as far as making inappropriate confessions about how they engage with her content.
“Some will even say they watched me on TV and used me for self-gratification,” she stated.
Speaking further, Oni said she is currently single and reflected on the challenges within the entertainment industry, noting that visibility often outweighs talent.
She added, “I am very single. From time, the loud ones excel more than the talented. You have to spice it up because that is what will make you relevant. People that are supposed to excel and become famous are not the ones we hear about.”
The actress also recounted a difficult experience on a movie set, where she was allegedly dropped from a lead role due to a colleague’s refusal to work with her.
“Someone said he could never work with me and I did not offend the person. I was on set for more than eight hours waiting for a lead role,” she said.
Oni explained that the producer later informed her of the situation and offered her a minor role instead, but she refused to be upset so it won’t be interpreted as defeat.
“The producer said he had to choose and couldn’t pick me, but offered me another role with fewer scenes. I was sad, but I decided to stay and do the job.
“I won’t leave because of anyone. Nobody can send me away from this industry,” she said.
Despite the setbacks and online harassment, the actress maintained that she remains determined to succeed in the industry.
