‘Bosses can ask subordinates out,’ Taiwo Hassan claims

Nollywood veteran Taiwo Hassan, has shared his thoughts on relationships and power dynamics in the entertainment industry.

The actor, while speaking in an interview with Feelrightvnews, explained that relationships between senior actors and apprentices in the theatre industry is ok.

Hassan further stressed the need for such relationships to be without force or coercion, adding that it must be between two consenting adults.

“It’s not a crime for a boss to ask his apprentice out, contentment is satisfaction. there’s not suppose to be problem in a boss dating his apprentice as long as he didn’t force her. some girls do learn theatre because they want to date the boss. When i was at Odunfa then, some girls come because of Yinka Quadri, some because of me and some because of Abbey Lanre. you can come to me and i will ask if you don’t mind if we can be into ourselves, there’s nothing bad in it,” he stated.
