Fast rising actress, Ebele Anna-Patrick who recently exposed the rot in the Asaba sector of Nollywood, where desperate actresses not only pay money to get roles in movies but also, sleep around with producers and directors just to hit the top is currently under heavy attack by the industry players.
Aggrieved by her outburst in a recent interview which she granted to HVP, producers as well as directors are said to be spitting fire and brimstone, threatening to ban the embattled actress for daring to expose the rot in the industry. At one of the meetings, where the actress was summoned by the industry players, Ebele, it was learnt, exonerated members of Directors Guild of Nigeria,DGN,as well as Film and Video Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria,FVPMAN,saying that, she was not referring to them .
"I wasn't referring to DGN members or members of other registered associations in Asaba", she said, adding "Just like we know in every gathering there must be a Judas and that's why it's pertinent that actors should endeavour to work with verified movie practitioners.
While working in Asaba, I have come in contact with a lot of sincere producers and directors who dare not compromise on the standard they have set for themselves. In fact, my mentor, Nonso Ekene Okonkwo has always stressed the need for up and coming actors to strive to work with recognised guild members."
