Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu has called out young women for showing up at auditions in inappropriate outfits, sparking discussions online.

On Wednesday, a video surfaced on TikTok showing the seasoned actress, who has graced Nigerian screens for decades, addressing two young ladies during an audition.

The clip, shared by @mrdoingscartel, captured her displeasure over their decision to attend the event without wearing bras.

Ezeonu, 58, known for her roles in classics like Glamour Girls and Living in Bondage said, “Any day I’m on any audition table and anyone comes to me dressed like this, I will disqualify that person.”

The audition, held in Lagos, featured Ezeonu as one of the judges.
She stressed that such dressing is inappropriate and damages the reputation of aspiring actors.

“Who are you trying to impress?” she asked, shaking her head. “That’s why people see us as unserious. I’m a serious-minded actor; you can’t catch me dressed like this, even when I was your age.”

The video has sparked conversations on social media, with some praising her for upholding decency while others debate the relevance of her comments in today’s entertainment world.
