In a moment that has sparked widespread discussion on social media, Nollywood icon, Ngozi Ezeonu, has firmly voiced her disapproval of inappropriate attire during a recent audition.
The veteran actress publicly criticised two young aspiring actresses for their choice of clothing, which she deemed unsuitable for the occasion.
The incident occurred at an open casting call, where hopefuls gathered to showcase their talent.
However, instead of their performances being the focus, it was their attire that drew attention.
The young ladies arrived braless, wearing crop tops, a choice that Ngozi Ezeonu found unacceptable.
In a video circulating online, Ngozi Ezeonu addressed the aspiring actresses in front of the assembled crowd.
Also, she expressed her disappointment and frustration.
“Let me make this clear,” she began, her tone resolute yet composed.
“Any day I’m on an audition panel and I see a lady dressed like this, I will disqualify you immediately. How can you come to an audition without a bra, wearing a crop top? It’s inappropriate. Who are you trying to impress?”
Gesturing towards their outfits, Ngozi Ezeonu asked the young women to turn and face the crowd.
“This is why people don’t take us seriously,” she continued.
“I am a serious-minded actor, and even at your age, you wouldn’t catch me wearing something like this. You carry your chest and leave it without a bra? Ah ah, why?”
Ezeonu’s remarks have triggered a heated debate online, with opinions divided.
