Popular Nollywood actress Doris recently made a revealing statement about her personal life, disclosing that some white men pay her because she is an amputee.
Despite her amputation, Doris continues to engage in romantic relationships. However, she expressed disappointment upon discovering that some men dated her out of pity. In a particularly upsetting incident, she found out that a man she was seeing had saved her name as “one leg girl” in his phone, a name that deeply hurt her.
Doris also mentioned her interactions with white men who are specifically attracted to amputees, known as ‘devotees’. These men often request videos of her amputated leg and offer payment in dollars for such content. The actress also revealed the heightened sensitivity of her amputated leg, explaining that it significantly enhances her physical sensations.
In a separate instance, actress Bimbo Ademoye shared her early career experiences, recalling how numerous producers wanted to exploit her appearance for sexualized roles. She resisted being typecast for sexually suggestive characters and her career took a positive turn when given a chance by a producer named Isong, which allowed her to showcase her acting talent and propelled her to greater heights in the industry.
Furthermore, actor Yul Edochie criticized Nigerian producers and directors for emulating Western and Hollywood film styles. He passionately argued for the importance of Nollywood in reflecting the rich and diverse Nigerian culture. Edochie stressed that Nollywood should focus on telling authentic Nigerian stories and presenting its unique culture in a more prominent light instead of attempting to replicate foreign film industries.
