How I Was Sexually Harassed My My Uncle As A Teenager – Actress Osoba Temitope

Nollywood actress, Osoba Temitope has shared the harrowing experience of enduring sexual harassment at the hands of her own uncle.

In an interview with Biola Bayo on her Talkshow, ‘Talk to B‘, Osoba Temitope recounted how she was sexually harassed by her uncle who she sought refuge with after escaping a toxic environment at her grandmother’s house.

According to her, the incident affected her career to some extent but she was able to bounce back and pick up the pieces of her life.

The actress also opened up about the debilitating effects of depression, triggered by financial struggles and the pressure of supporting others.

She said: “My grandmother came one day and arrested me and I decided I didn’t want to stay with her, so they took me to my uncle’s house.

“I started living with him and he started making some advances towards me, trying to harass me sexually. And I told myself, I couldn’t go through this again.

“The relationship affected my acting career to some extent, but I picked up back. 2022/2023, the Devil tried, but he didn’t win.

“I suffered from depression because things became difficult for me, I couldn’t meet my needs, people were looking up to me and I wasn’t working.

“It got to a point that I couldn’t sleep, had to put the Bible on my chest before I could sleep peacefully cause I would always see something in the dark. I stopped functioning, couldn’t eat, brush, bathe, and all”.
