Rita Dominic Writes a Letter to Critic Telling Her Not to Feature in Movie Roles Beneath Her

Rita Dominic has hit back at a critic who tried to shame her for taking on a role in a new movie. The X user wrote on the microblogging platform: “There are certain projects your brand should outgrow, because why is Rita Dominic in lekki wives or whatever it is called! Common.”

And the actress replied: “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.”

Dominic cleaning the floor with her hair was a minor detail but the kind of deep delve into character that viewers were not accustomed to seeing onscreen in Nollywood. And they would have seen it had it not been for cameras that were focused higher and did not move with the actor.
