Speaking on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Anunobi revealed that she had already put pen to paper on a contract to portray the character Anita in the highly anticipated follow-up to the iconic Nollywood production when the incident unfolded.
A colleague who spotted her script reacted with visible surprise before going directly to the producer to demand her replacement. "She told the producer to decast me and replace me with someone else," Anunobi recounted.
The bid to oust her failed. The producer stood firm, and Anunobi retained the role.
Looking back, she said the episode reshaped her understanding of the price that comes with talent and visibility.
"It helped me realise that when you have a bright star, even people who already have their own success can still be envious," she reflected.
