Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has addressed criticism from a user who shamed her for taking on a movie role that some consider beneath her status in the film industry. The user mocked her participation in the Lekki Wives reality show, suggesting that there are certain projects that the actress should have moved past.

The post read, “There are certain projects your brand should outgrow, because why is Rita Dominic in lekki wives or whatever it is called? Common.”

Rita Dominic responded by pointing out that only those lacking artistic integrity would make such comments, and she encouraged her colleagues not to pay attention to such criticism. She emphasized the significance of artistic integrity, stressing that creative expression should not be stifled by shallow remarks.

The actress expressed her belief that Nollywood stars should not restrict themselves but should instead embrace every opportunity to unleash their creative potential on any platform available to them.

She wrote, “Dear Actors, only people who have no single drop of artistic integrity speak like this. If you listen to them you will soon begin to believe you are more important than the industry that birth you.

“You are an ACTOR, so make sure to find a way or platform to release the creative energy in you. Continue to hone your skills regardless of empty comments like this cos knowledge is never ending – yours truly, Rita.”
