Nigerian actress Jumoke George has opened up about her 14-year hiatus from the film industry. In an interview, George shared that her dark complexion and refusal to exchange sex for roles led to her prolonged absence.
George faced challenges in her career due to her skin tone, with directors complaining that she was too dark. She refused to compromise on her values, stating that she would not sleep with directors to secure roles. As a result, she faced a backlash, with a group of directors deciding not to cast her in any movies.
George recalled a conversation with a director who told her that she was being blacklisted for refusing to sleep with them. She was devastated but prayed to God to take control of the situation.
Despite the setbacks, George has made a comeback to the film industry, inspiring fans with her resilience and determination.
