Controversy surrounds up-and-coming actress Mercy Kenneth after an intimate movie scene with a male co-star sparked outrage.
The scene depicted a virgin’s first sexual experience, prompting criticism from online users who feel Mercy, an underage actress, should avoid such roles.
In the movie scene the male actor offered her N100K and an iPhone as part of their agreement.
Viewers expressed disapproval, citing Mercy’s tendency to take on sexually explicit roles despite her age. Some reactions include:
– “Why is she playing this role at this age?” – Chimamanda Favour
– “She’s too small for this kind of movie… what are you teaching our youth?” – Ina Joe
– “Mercy is too young for this part… what are you teaching our teenagers?” – Victoria Lawrence
– “I used to watch Nigerian movies with my parents freely, but now I have to fast-forward inappropriate scenes… Mercy is too young for such scenes.” – Jacky Opiyo
The backlash raises concerns about the suitability of Mercy’s roles and the impact of explicit content on young audiences.
