Nollywood actress, Habibat Jinad has recounted an unforgettable experience with her senior colleague, Mide Martins.
In an interview with Biola Bayo on her talk show, Talk To B, she recounted how Mide Martins once insulted her with her skin color on a movie set. According to her, they were on the set of Mide’s husband, Afeez Owo’s movie set, when a colleague of theirs did something wrong and she was punished for it.
She revealed that Mide Martins used her skin color to insult her in the presence of everyone and said her face was as dark as a monkey’s own.
Habibat stated that the words from Mide Martins touched her so much that she contemplated bleaching her skin.
“At a rehearsal ground at Afeez Owo’s set, something happened, a colleague of mine did something and I wasn’t the one who did that thing and they said we should kneel. Mrs. Mide Martins was there, my boss was there and some other people and Mide Martins compared it to a monkey’s skin. And it got to me. She even complained about my skin, saying I was too dark and this made me contemplate bleaching my skin to please her and others”.
