According to the movie star, an audition is an interview for a role and people cannot just dress anyhow like they are on their street. Henshaw went on to name some of the respectable people in the Nollywood industry to illustrate that it is not an anyhow profession.
In her words:
“I don’t know what bra did to you, you just want to jangle everywhere, that’s on you. But if you;re going somewhere for an interview, an audition is an interview for a role, you don’t dress as if you’re going down the road to buy sugar and groundnuts. I don’t blame them, I blame us for making entries so easy. This is a profession that has Aunty Joke, RMD, Ego Boyo, Aunty Ngozi Ezeonu, Aunty Patience, Aunty Taiwo Ajayi-Lycett, the late Sam Loco Efe, so many greats.”
Speaking further, Kate Henshaw said that people who refused to be trained at home would be trained outside. She said:
“If they don’t teach you at home, you will be taught outside. Then someone on X app said ‘she’s not their mother or family member to tell them how to dress’ You don’t want to dress well, stay at home. She has every right to say she doesn’t want to see this kind of dressing at her audition, and so it should be. Let’s put some respect on ourselves and what we’re coming to do.”
