A young writer, Cassandra Owolabi, has taken to social media to call out her former employer and renowned actress, Funke Akindele

Cassandra, aka Khassie, claimed that Akindele was physically and verbally abuse abusive to her members of staff. The young lady also alleged that the actress used to talk down on them and how she was never given credit for writing five seasons of Jenifa’s Diaries

Many times, people fawn over celebrities and would do anything to express their love for them. However, things are not always what they seem and fans are oblivious of how things really are because they do not know these stars personally.

Just recently, a young lady took to social media to call out one of the biggest actresses in the Nigerian film industry, Funke Akindele.

The young lady identified as Cassandra Owolabi aka Khassie recounted how she used to work for the actress and the physical and emotional abuse her members of staff allegedly had to endure.

In the video that was shared on social media, Khassie said that Akindele’s staff had to endure physical and emotional abuse as the film star had been known to use degrading words on them.

Khassie also said that she once witnessed the film star slap a member of staff the way a mother would hit her child. She also said that working for Akindele was like enslavement because they were ripped of their fundamental human right such as not having freedom of movement, speech or expression.

According to the lady, Funke acted maliciously because she has so much confidence in her fan base and her fans would never believe she was capable of evil things.

Khassie said that they had to endure so many insults as her staff and that it was disheartening that a figure people look up to can treat others in a dehumanising manner.

The young writer said that if the actress had been a white woman, people would have described her as a modern day slave master.
