How fan slapped me over movie role I played – Actress Ngozi Nwosu recounts

Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has shared her story of receiving a severe slap on the face because of a role she played in a movie.

During an interview with her younger colleague Biola Bayo for the Talk to B podcast, she revealed the information.

The event, which happened at the Lawanson bus stop when Ngozi Nwosu was still having financial difficulties, was described.

She claimed that a man came up to her, gave her a smack, and called her derogatory terms because of what a character in a movie had done. Because of her on-screen character, he appeared to think she was genuinely “wicked” and a “killer”.

Ngozi Nwosu said she was left dazed and shocked, and the encounter made her more cautious and aware of her surroundings. In the actress’s words:

“I have so many unforgettable experiences, is it about life or in this industry? I’ll share a story from when I just started newly. I had the experience at Lawanson bus stop precisely, that time I was going to catch a bus; you know, I had no money at that time so I was going to get a bus, and a guy walked up to me and the next thing he did was to give me a dirty slap.

“I won’t lie o I was dazed, and I was wondering, ‘What did I do to deserve this one?’ He started screaming, You’re a wicked woman!! For what you did to lagbaja, you are a killer.”

“In a movie?” Biola, the host, asked in shock.

“Yes o,” she confirmed and continued:

“because he watched me being mean to someone in a movie. He was saying, ‘Don’t worry, I will tell my wife that I have retaliated.’ People around were asking him if he was okay and why he would slap a woman that way. He was adamant o, saying, I’m too wicked.”

Nwosu said:

“That is an experience I will never forget and it made me walk and watch my back. I became very cautious of where I would go. After that, I became a taxi freak.”
