Ifu Ennada said she was raped
sometime in 2016 and infected with Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) by
someone in the entertainment industry.
According to her, this led her
into depression as she was threatened not to tell her story and was afraid of
being shamed by the public.
She further refuted statement
made while in the house that she is a virgin.
According to her, she was
misinterpreted by viewers.
Narrating her ordeal, she wrote
on her Instagram page: “My Virginity Story; Rape & Depression
“When I was in the Big Brother
House emotions were raised when during a Truth or Dare game I said I’d not
really had sex.
“People interpreted that as me
claiming to be a Virgin.
“The truth is in 2016 I was raped
by someone in the entertainment industry, before then I was a Virgin. This
person also infected me with an STI… I was also threatened by this person and
was very scared of social media’s bashing with the usual questions of “what was
she wearing!” “why did she go to his house?
“So in all my sadness and
depression I decided to tell the world what had happened to me using film as a
medium.
“I was inspired to write and
produce my film – Tears of A Broken Virgin. I got a lot of help from social
media – people volunteered to work for me free of charge even my director –
Benny Atagame Alli
“Though some parts of my film is
fiction, the bulk of it was inspired by my story. The lead character’s name is
Ada which is a short form of my name Adanne- popularly pronounced as Ennada.
“Because of my sad experience I
battled depression, developed trust issues and found it hard to connect with
people especially men.
“I wanted to tell my story and
also pass a strong message to rape victims and rapists.I hope I was able to do
that with my film.
“I intend to expand this into a
feature length film. I hope everyone out there is inspired to stand up against
rape.”
