Controversial
Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah has gone emotional to pledge her innocence
regarding all the negative things that have been said and written about her in
recent times. Reacting
to some of the controversies trailing her acting career recently on her
facebook page, the dark-skinned, sexy-eyed actress alleged that she has over
the years been wrongly judged by her critics.
According
to Empress, when people who have read or heard a lot of negative things about
her meet her in person, they are always shocked to discover that she is a direct
opposite of what they think she is.
“Never judge a book by its cover; I am a typical
example of that. When people who have read or heard a lot of negative reports
about me meet me, they are always shocked. Some will even render their apology,
telling me, “Empress, I am sorry, I didn’t think you were this kind of warm,”
she wrote on facebook page.
She continued, “You see with the way people
painted at me especially the press, anyone who has not met me before will think
I am a devil. The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role
in decadent society like ours is abused by misinforming the masses in order to
make money. If you believe everything you see and hear in the news, then, you
can as well believe Obama is a grandmother”
“I do not see myself joining any clique. I do not
see myself hanging out at the theatre with others, discussing everything about
nothing. If anybody needs me, if you have a job for me, just call me.”
“Our society is full of hypocrisy. Apart from the
fact that acting nude is alien to our culture, there are so many things
happening in our society today which are not part of our culture. The same
people who would love to see you look decent are the same people who would go
behind your back to criticise you. That’s our society for you. Yes, if my
society is not all that hypocritical, I will do it.”
Empress who invaded the scene in 1995, has been
keeping low profile since her ugly break-up with ex-boy friend, Timaya.
HVP learnt that she’s planning to throw a
one-in-town party for her friends and colleagues in the industry to mark
her birthday anniversary.
