Monica Erero Arerosueoghene (SPECIAL OROBO) has taken to her Instagram page to discuss the challenges fat people go through in Nollywood while trying to audition for roles.
The popular Nollywood actress stated clearly that she will not tolerate any of the producers/filmmakers who plan to take advantage of her size.
She said;
“When I came into the industry, I have seen fat, upcoming girls that have been bullied and talked down on, but I keep saying love yourself and be confident.”
“I don’t play with my body, being fat does not mean the producers should take advantage of me. Your body is yours, and I told them so because I’m confident that’s why I’m making it.
“I know some slim girls that I met in the industry that haven’t made it yet, so if producers can’t help those ones, is it me that is fat that they want to help?
“I always tell other fat girls to look neat and dress well so that people will appreciate you wherever you go”.
