Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has condemned the award of the ‘Best Dressed Female’ to popular crossdresser, Bobrisky, at a recent movie premiere.
Bobrisky was adjudged the Best Dressed Female at the movie premiere in Lagos over the weekend and received a cash prize of N1 million.
However, reacting via a video message shared on her Instagram account, Amusa said it was a mockery of the women present at the event.
She said, “I was at a colleague of mine premiere yesterday, they said the best dressers are to be picked; one female and one male best dresser. Don’t get me wrong, the winner could be anyone but definitely not a crossdresser. I mean, what’s wrong with us? I don’t understand it.
“I cannot imagine the judges disrespecting every woman that was there. You had to pick a winner, a female best dressed and a male best dressed and you watered the efforts of all the women at the event by giving the best dressed female to a crossdresser. I don’t understand, what is wrong with us?
“If you feel you want to honour crossdressers, you should have created their own category instead of disrespecting women by giving a crossdresser the best dressed female award.”
