Nollywood star Kate Henshaw has commented on the recent situation with her colleague Ngozi Ezeonu, who reprimanded girls for not wearing bras during an audition.
This event has ignited a strong debate on social media.
In a widely shared video, Ngozi Ezeonu is seen telling the girls that their casual clothing is inappropriate for a professional audition.
The video quickly caught attention, leading to various responses from the audience and industry peers.
Kate Henshaw voiced her opinion on social media, supporting Ngozi Ezeonu’s position.
She stated that an audition is really a job interview, and it should be taken seriously by all participants.
She claimed that people shouldn’t dress as if they are just running a simple errand.
In her words;
“I don’t know what bra did to you, you just want to jangle everywhere, that’s on you. But if you;re going somewhere for an interview, an audition is an interview for a role, you don’t dress as if you’re going down the road to buy sugar and groundnuts. I don’t blame them, I blame us for making entries so easy. This is a profession that has Aunty Joke, RMD, Ego Boyo, Aunty Ngozi Ezeonu, Aunty Patience, Aunty Taiwo Ajayi-Lycett, the late Sam Loco Efe, so many greats.”
Kate tackled the complaints from social media users, especially those who believed Ezeonu had no authority to advise auditionees on their clothing choices. She added;
“If they don’t teach you at home, you will be taught outside. Then someone on X app said ‘she’s not their mother or family member to tell them how to dress’ You don’t want to dress well, stay at home. She has every right to say she doesn’t want to see this kind of dressing at her audition, and so it should be. Let’s put some respect on ourselves and what we’re coming to do.”
