The seasoned actress did not mince words, criticizing their appearance and emphasizing the importance of dressing appropriately.
“Any day I’m overseeing an audition and any lady shows up dressed like this, I will disqualify the person,” Ezeonu stated firmly.
Her comments have sparked a heated debate on social media and within Nollywood circles, with opinions divided.
Supporters argue that her stance promotes professionalism and respect for the craft, while critics contend that attire should not overshadow talent or performance at auditions.
Some social media users praised Ezeonu for standing her ground, saying she represents traditional values and discipline in the industry.
Others, however, felt her reaction was overly critical, suggesting that judging based on clothing could discourage emerging talents who may not yet understand industry expectations.
While opinions remain mixed, Ezeonu’s stance underscores the influence and expectations placed on aspiring talents navigating the path to success in Nollywood.
This controversy is the latest in a series of debates about professionalism and personal choice in the industry, highlighting ongoing challenges for actors and producers alike.
