Controversy

Chloe Chukwuka is a sultry and beautiful actress everyone due to her charismatic personality and her decent performances in movies. This happily married actress is among the few actors who aren’t scandal-free and are praised by the industry and has been so for a long time until just recently, when the jacket of the movie she appeared in, made it into the film market. The dark-skinned actress was dressed in two pieces of clothing.

One was meant to cover her bums while the other was draped around her waist leaving her back and stomach bare. It wasn’t long after the film hit the stores that reactions were coming from all directions about what some called her new, inappropriate attire that didn’t fit with her lifestyle.

Needless to say, the poster took everyone by surprise, particularly those who have had the pleasure of knowing the actress and fallen attracted to her nimbleness in the acting field, since her first appearance in films. However, the issue took on a different level when veteran actor, Chinwetalu verbally slammed the female actor who also serves as an ambassador for some of the most popular brands in Nigeria in an interview with him some time ago to criticize the use of nudism in Nollywood films, which is rapidly becoming the standard. In his own words: 

An instance is the poster from a recent film I saw in Asaba in which the supposedly beautiful Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha was half-clad.To my shock, she was only wearing a pant and a bra on the poster. Chioma seemed to be a bit out of character, I have to admit. I am not sure what her husband thought of this posture.

This incident has brought diverse reactions from those who are fans of both actors and while some are supportive of the veteran actor’s comments, others believe that he went overboard in his criticism. However, the actress involved has remained silent on the issue, however, her agency has reacted to the news, claiming that the only thing that belongs to Chioma in the garment is her face, which was manipulated into another’s body. They have also promised to bring an action in court against the makers of the film titled”Lost Angels”.
