Some Actors Do Ask Me To Have S€x With Them, So As To Allow Me Sleep In Their Houses” Omidan Lege

Nollywood actress Omidan Lege has opened up about the dark side of her early struggles in the film industry, revealing how some male colleagues attempted to take advantage of her vulnerability during her formative years as an actress.

Speaking in an interview shared on the official YouTube channel of Feel Right News TV on Thursday, October 16, 2025, the actress recounted how life was extremely difficult when she started out in filmmaking. According to her, there were times she had nowhere to stay and even resorted to sleeping under bridges just to survive.

Lege recalled that when she occasionally sought temporary refuge at fellow actors’ homes, some of them turned her down unless she agreed to their inappropriate demands. “I encountered a lot of challenges when I started filmmaking,” she said. “I remember those days I used to sleep under the bridge. Sometimes, when I was stranded and went to my colleagues’ houses, they would say there was no space. Some even told me to sleep with them first before they could let me stay.”

The actress noted that although the offers often came when she was desperate and without options, she always chose to endure hardship rather than compromise her dignity. “They knew I was stranded and thought I would have no choice, but I preferred to stay outside than give them my body,” she added.

Her revelation has sparked discussions about the exploitation and moral challenges young women face in the entertainment industry, particularly those struggling to find their footing without support.
