Media personality Yeni Kuti has weighed in on the controversy surrounding veteran actress Ngozi Ezeonu, who recently scolded two young ladies for wearing revealing outfits to a movie audition. Speaking on TVC’s Your View show, Yeni questioned Ngozi’s authority to criticize the women, arguing that older generations often forget their own youthful indiscretions.
“It wasn’t any of her business. All she had to do was reject them, that’s all. We older people tend to forget what we did in our youthful days,” Yeni remarked during the discussion. Her comments have sparked conversations on societal standards and generational hypocrisy.
The incident began when a video surfaced online of Ngozi Ezeonu reprimanding two audition attendees for their outfits, which she deemed inappropriate. The actress stated that she would disqualify anyone dressed in a similar manner at her auditions, citing professionalism and decency as her reasons.
While some supported Ezeonu’s stance, Yeni’s criticism highlights a differing perspective, emphasizing individual freedom and the importance of avoiding judgment. The debate has since ignited a broader discussion on professionalism versus personal expression in the entertainment industry.
As reactions continue to pour in, the controversy underscores the ongoing dialogue about societal expectations and generational differences in values.
