A young actress, criticized by veteran Nollywood star Ngozi Ezeonu for appearing braless at an audition, has broken her silence about the fallout from the incident.
Ezeonu recently took to social media via Instagram, to call out two young women for what she deemed inappropriate dressing during an audition. Expressing her disappointment, the actress said, “Who are you trying to impress? That’s why people see us as unserious. I’m a serious-minded actor; you can’t catch me dressed like this, even when I was your age.”
In response, one of the women involved shared her perspective on social media, clarifying the circumstances leading up to the incident.

The young woman also revealed the personal toll of the public backlash. She disclosed that her father, angered by the viral video, reprimanded her harshly, even slapping her for what he considered a disgrace to their family.
