The veteran movie star made this revelation when she was featured as a guest on the Phantom Xtraordinaire Show hosted by a former BBNaija contestant, Tobi Bakre.

Recalling a low moment in her career, Rita Dominic recounted how she was blacklisted silently in Nollywood, noting that the move helped pushed her into becoming a producer herself.

“At some point in my career, I wanted to evolve and do different things. But the people I used to work with then couldn’t be bothered, so I wasn’t getting work.

“I was blacklisted silently. Back then, there was a major blacklisting (of some actors). However, mine was silent. That was actually one of the things that made me start producing movies.”

The 46-year-old actress noted that switching to film production was a big deal for her because she had always wanted to explore other aspects of filmmaking, aside from acting.

“I am still acting but I always knew I would go behind the cameras and produce my own films. I have always been interested in different aspects of filmmaking.

“So, when it was time to form a production company, it was no-brainer because it was something I had planned to do,” she said.
