Mercy Asiedu, popularly known in the Ghanaian movie industry as "Asabea" has expressed her view on actresses offering sex to get roles in movies. A popular notion making waves, female actresses have been bashed by many in times past for trading sex for major or minor performances in movies.
Being interviewed by Akwasi Ampofo (Aboboyaa), the host of Anigye Mmere on Time FM, Mercy Asiedu refuted the claims presented above stating further that anyone who makes that claim only does it for popularity sake.
"It's never true that this happens in the movie industry. I don't know where whoever said it originates from. Most people complain about that because of lack of roles or sudden abandonment after a movie or two."
Elucidating, the sought-after actresses added that roles are based on merit since movies are an investment which must reap profits through gaining a bigger audience.
"I want to use your medium to clarify this. We get our roles based on merit. So if someone gets the nod over you it doesn't mean the person offered sex to get that."
"If someone offers sex and cannot meet the demands of the script, do you think the producer or director will be glad about that? Whoever says that is saying it just for fame."
Currently, with the downward trod of the local movie industry, Mercy Asiedu, a mother of two, has taken to her own series production.
