How I have avoided sexual harassment in Nollywood – Anita Joseph

Popular Nollywood star, Anita Joseph finally revealed why she quit exposing her body in movies.

 The actress, who is known for her controversial roles, spoke to Punch, saying she was crazy about showing off her body when she first started but things have changed.

 ‘It is not like I go out of my way to flaunt my body. I thank God that I have a good physique,’ she said. ‘Initially when I got into the industry, I believed in flaunting what I had; and I don’t think there is anything wrong in that.

 ‘However, as I have grown older in the industry, I have grown beyond those things. These days, I prefer to wear decent clothes that cover me properly.’

 She also said that she’s now born again and realises that revealing less makes her more classic.

 ‘Even if I wear a free-flowing gown, my curves would still show. I have discovered that being covered up is even more classy and sexy than exposing delicate parts of the body.

 ‘A lot of people don’t know this, but I’m actually born-again; a redeemed child of God. It is important to look beyond the outward appearance before judging people. There have been times I went astray, but the good thing is that God is a very caring father and he always accepts me back with love.’ 

She also talked about never being sexually harassed and even becoming good friends with people who initially tried wooing her.

 ‘I have never experienced sexual harassment in the movie industry. I just concentrate on being the best, and I also work hard. I know how to handle my admirers in a polite manner. ‘Some people who even had the intention of wooing me later became my good friends.’
