“Why actresses have unhappy relationships” – Stella Udeze opens up

Written by MAXx on April 26, 2024

Nollywood luminary Stella Udeze delves into the complexities impacting the duration of relationships within the Nigerian acting community. She delves into societal attitudes, highlighting the detrimental stereotype that unfairly taints actresses with associations to prostitution.

Udeze underscores the prevalence of this misconception, revealing that an alarming 80% of Nigerian men harbor the misguided belief that pursuing acting equates to engaging in sex work. This pervasive notion, she contends, fosters an environment rife with distrust, undermining the foundation of relationships involving actresses.

By shedding light on these misconceptions, Udeze aims to challenge the status quo and foster a more nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by actresses in navigating personal relationships amidst societal scrutiny.

Through open dialogue and advocacy, she endeavors to dismantle harmful stereotypes and promote healthier dynamics within the Nigerian entertainment industry.

“Some actresses don’t seem to have a happy relationship because of trust issues. In Nigeria, 80 percent of men feel that being an actress makes you a prostitute,” Stella Udeze explained.

She further elaborated on the detrimental impact of such stereotypes, noting that while actresses are indeed exposed to the world due to the nature of their profession, it is unfair to generalize and label them solely based on their career choice.

“They should learn to differentiate the good from the bad. We can’t deny the fact that we are exposed to the world. I think when people stop to have this impression about them they will realize we can have the best relationships,” Stella Udeze added.

In other news, Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong has provided an explanation for why, in contrast to their male counterparts, female actors do not solicit donations from the general public.

According to him, men are expected to be “quick to rise to women’s needs” in society, but when a guy is faced with difficulties, he usually finds a solution on his own until he reaches a breaking point at which he has no other option than to seek for help from the public.

A man’s money, according to Effiong, is for his entire family, but a woman’s money is mostly for herself.
