Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu has sparked a wave of reactions after openly criticizing Gen Z baddies who attended a recent audition without wearing bras. The revered actress, known for her poise and professionalism, did not hold back in expressing her disappointment over what she deemed an inappropriate choice of dressing.

During the audition, Ezeonu, who served as a judge, was reportedly taken aback by the casual and revealing outfits worn by some participants. Addressing the issue directly, she called out the aspiring actors for failing to adhere to basic standards of professionalism and decency.

Speaking candidly, the actress said,

“If you want to be taken seriously in this industry, you must learn to dress appropriately. This is not the way to present yourself if you want to build a respectable career.”

Her remarks, which were captured in a now-viral video, have ignited a fierce debate on social media. While some users have applauded her for upholding standards of decency, others have accused her of being overly critical and out of touch with the evolving norms of self-expression among the younger generation.
