“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest. However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living… Some girls are doing it because they need to feed mom, send their younger ones to school. I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there,” she said.
Meanwhile, her statement has continued to generate conversations online, with some people understanding her empathy toward struggling women, while others criticized the actress for appearing to encourage prostitution.
