31 years in Nollywood, I never slept with any producer or director.” - Veteran Actress Thelma Chukwunwem

Nollywood actress, voice-over artist, and preacher Thelma Chukwunwem says no producer or director can ever claim they slept with her even after 31 years in the industry. According to Vanguard, speaking in a recent interview, Thelma revealed she faced heavy pressure and sexual advances early in her career but never compromised. Her words: There were temptations, but I stood my ground. If you thought I had to sleep with you for a role, you could keep your script. She shared how one director once warned her she wouldnt go far if she didnt play along, but she told him, Ill go far by Gods grace. Decades later, she ran into that same director at a premiere. His words? Stubborn girl.Her response? Years have passed. God has helped me. Thelma credits her strong upbringing, discipline, and faith for her staying power in Nollywood.
