Nollywood actress Sochima Ezeoke has voiced her frustration online after being unexpectedly replaced in a movie role.
The actress shared a video on her Instagram page, which quickly generated reactions across social media.
What Happened
In the trending video, Sochima revealed that she had been assigned the maid role two weeks earlier. However, when she arrived on set, the director reassigned the part to someone else, reportedly saying she didn’t have a “massive backside” for the role.
The actress, visibly upset, also confronted the woman who was given her original role, asking:
“Are you not the one playing the village girl? Why are you acting innocent?”
Her Message to Fans
In the caption of her post, Sochima further expressed her disappointment:
“I don’t like to bring any issue to social media, but I must speak up. How can you swap my role simply because I don’t have a ‘HOT BODY’. Coming from a director with a flat ass.
I’m speaking up for all the actors who can act but doesn’t have the ‘ass’ to carry the role.
The producer contacted me for this role because she knew I could deliver, but I was denied playing this role and asked to play the house maid instead because I don’t look it. This is absolutely unfair.”
