‘How I got stereotyped as a husband snatcher,’ Eucharia Anunobi opens up

Veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi has opened up on the backlash she received over her role in a movie released over two decades ago.

The actress, while speaking with The Honest Bunch, explained that she was labelled as wild and promiscuous due to her role in Glamour Girls 2. She explained that people found it difficult to separate the movie character from the actress, stating that she was being associated with the character’s personality.

“I faced a lot of backlash for my role in Glamour Girls 2. You know, at that time the Nigerian populace pretended that they don’t watch such movies. So, a lot of people were labelling me. They called me Sharon Stone, Mammy Water, Husband Snatcher. The character I played was a student who snatched a wealthy man from his wife. So, a lot of people were seeing me as a seductress. Well, I am very alluring,” she stated.

Anunobi also revealed that ladies were weary with leaving their partners with her in fear that she might seduce him. She stressed that she was only acting a script, stating that the character is not a true representation of her personality.

“I can’t deny that because if I deny myself that means I am denying God. A lot of people were like that leave your man with Eucharia, she’s going to take him away. It was crazy to the point that if women see me when they are with their men, they hold them tightly,” she added
