Sex is gradually becoming the bane of Ghana’s growing movie industry as it has become an impediment between young professional actresses and their career. According to sources in the movie industry, sex has become one of major problems affecting the smooth progress of the industry as every year, more and more young actresses have to go through the sex ordeal before they can get a role to play.
Those actresses who wouldn’t engage in such an act have to abandon their acting dreams for different careers, hence the domination of the industry by a few faces.
Some movie producers and directors, our sources disclosed, “have been exporting their bedroom amorous tricks with their wives onto the movie field by demanding sex from these potential young actresses before giving them roles to play. They always tell the girls that big stars in various movie industries around the world also had sex with their bosses before they were able to climb to where they are now.”

The worst of it all is that, after having sex with some of the girls, the producers and directors at times renege on their promises, giving several excuses for their inability to fulfill those promises. While professionally trained actresses are often thrown out because they would not give in to the demands of their ‘bosses’, their colleagues who have not had any form of professional training are quick to surrender because they want to be seen on TV at all cost.
When contacted, Mr. Nii Odoi Mensah, President of the Ghana Actors’ Guild, confirmed the story. He said the issue had come to the Guild’s notice but it was difficult to track down the perpetrators especially as the ladies involved would not like to come out publicly to talk about it.
“In every organization, we have such few bad nuts who would engage in all kinds of activities. It is not nice and I must emphasize that, those involved should stop. A young, beautiful girl once complained to me that a producer wanted to have her in bed before he gives her a role to play but she refused and that was the end for her.”
Mr. Odoi Mensah continued that the problem was one of the contributory factors to the dominance of many school dropouts in the movie industry. “If you look at our industry now, it is full of many school dropouts because of these anomalies. When you look at Nigeria’s industry, it is full of professionals and university graduates,” he said. He therefore called on producers and directors to help bring sanity into the industry, stressing that it is not right to have sex with a lady before giving her a role in a movie, or make young actresses and actors pay for audition and location fees.

This is very bad, those actresses involved should come out to the public and say the truth about this matter, cus God knows everything that goes around, why can’t they stick to one man. that a shame.
i dont know what these actress really want, and i dont know what the directors and producers want also but i is very disgusting for a lady to sell her pride just because you want to follow your dream or ambition. damn
Unfortunately, this happens in a lot of places – hollywood, bollywood, nollywood, As a matter of fact, there was a sting on this in India some few years back, where a female reporter pose as an aspiring actress. Also, I have lived in Nigeria and I know most of those nigerian actresses, college graduate or not, gave up the sex before they became stars

THIS IS NOT RIGHT GHANA IS ON THE INTERNATIONAL CHART FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA VIST TO GHANA AND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO BE HAPPEN IN 2009 IS DISGUSTING THE GOVERMENT BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP BEFORE IT GETS OUT AND BECOME A SCANDAL
This is very disgusting, and disgrace i suggest the government do something about it.
is quite unfurtunately that things happen this way. i once went for an audition and by Gods grace i passed through it.can u imagine the producer told me i was good tough but unless he sleeps with me before he gives me the role. because i denied that he did not give me any role to play. am a very good actress too.so u see,because of this the real movie stars cant come to show their talent and thats too bad infact something must be done about it. we have many actress out there that can be more than the nigerian stars but the opportunity is not given to us
This is very common in Ghana, and I am telling you that it is not a practice in the movie business only. I had a hard time finding job in Ghana because I would not sleep with old bosses. This is another important issue that should be debated and tackled by the government. The old men in Ghana are disgusting and prey on young people. Most of them call themselves christians too. Infact if one look at it that way men are really disgusting, good for nothing beings.
