Veteran Nollywood actress Eucharia Anunobi has talked about the criticism she received for her performance in Glamour Girls 2 almost thirty years ago. In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Anunobi disclosed that she faced harsh criticism since some people didn’t realise that she wasn’t the actual Anita, the wild and promiscuous prostitute in the film.
She clarified that some people started to identify her with Anita’s character in the film and called her “a husband snatcher and mammy water.” “I faced a lot of backlash for my role in Glamour Girls 2,” she stated.The Nigerian people at the time pretended that they didn’t watch these kinds of films.
I was being labelled by a lot of people. They referred to me as Husband Snatcher, Mammy Water, and Sharon Stone. “I portrayed a student who robbed a wealthy man of his wife. I was therefore perceived as a seductress by many. I mean, I’m really attractive.
“I can’t deny that because denying myself would be a denial of God.Many people said, “Leave your man with Eucharia; she’s going to take him away.” It was so weird that women would cling to their spouses if they saw me, she added.She merely performed a script, Anunobi continued. The actress disclosed that she received more compensation for the film’s sultry bathtub scene with Zack Orji.
