Popular Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye has opened up about personal issues she deals with as an actress, in a conversation with Hawa Magaji.
In a heart-to-heart conversation with YouTuber Hawa Magaji, Ademoye recalled how her self esteem issues developed into anxiety.
She said that her parents’ divorce had also contributed to her having low self-esteem since childhood.
“If I’m in a room with more than 10 people, I start to have an anxiety attack. I think my social anxiety came from having low self-esteem issues growing up, not being with my parents. I grew up with this thought in my head that nobody wanted to be around me,” she said.
Bimbo said, “I don’t really like human beings because I feel like they are full of shit based on my experience. Most times I love to be by myself. I’d rather not deal with the hurt that people tend to bring. I’d rather just be on my own and just be around the few people that I’ve given access to me.”
The actress revealed that she still deals with anxiety, and her dad helps her with it, hence their closeness.
“I’m still dealing with that even at this stage. That’s why I’m very close to my dad because [he] was very big on helping me with that. I wet the bed for a long time. I’m talking about SS2 and SS3. My dad laughed it off. My first ever acting gig, they told me they were going to pay me N12,500 and they were going to pay me six months after shooting. My dad paid for my shooting budget of N50,000 during the shoot.”
