Eucharia Anunobi, a seasoned Nollywood actress, has discussed the backlash and public criticism that followed her performance in the contentious 1996 film Glamour Girls 2.
According to Naija News, Eucharia stated in a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast that some people did not realize that her character in the film, Anita, a wild and promiscuous escort, was not who she really was.
The actress claims that after appearing in the film, some people started to identify her with Anita’s character and called her a “husband snatcher and mammy water.”
Many people mistook her for a seductress, Eucharia Anunobi said, forgetting that she was merely acting a script.
The actress disclosed that she received more compensation for the film’s sultry bathtub scene with Zack Orji.
“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 labeled 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 men when they saw me.
