Guess which movie producer asked to see Lydia Forson’s tatas during an audition
Follow @eventlabgh < Lydia Forson has revealed that during the early stages of her acting career, a movie producer once demanded...
“Earlier in my career just once, small-time producer who asked to see my breast for a role I was auditioning for and I said no, and walked out,” Lydia said in an interview with the BBC.
According to Forson, she stormed out after the unnamed producer made that demand. She said such instances of sexual harassments are common in other professions, adding that many women face unrequited sexual advances from men in powerful positions.
“It’s unfortunate that it’s very common but it cuts across everywhere. Women are subjected to unwanted sexual advances from men in powerful positions especially who want to take advantage of their vulnerability,” she said.
“Especially in Africa where there’s a lot of poverty and people are looking for jobs, they know how to feed on peoples desperation.”
She also narrated the experience of a young lady who complained to her about unwanted sexual advances from movie producers.
“Just last week, an actress walked up to me and said she’s been trying to break up into the industry for several years but every producer wants to sleep with her and they named dropped some big actresses that they slept with before giving them roles… and threaten them, too blackball them in the industry if they refuse to cooperate,” Lydia added.
According to her, the only means to end this abuse is to speak up.
