Stella Udeze, a Nollywood actress, has shed light on the challenges some actresses face in maintaining happy relationships, attributing this issue to prevailing stereotypes and misconceptions about women in the industry.
According to Udeze, a significant factor affecting actresses’ relationships is the widespread perception among men in Nigeria that actresses are synonymous with promiscuity or prostitution.
She estimates that about 80 percent of men hold this stereotype, which can lead to trust issues and strained relationships.
In her conversation with Potpourri, Udeze emphasized the need for people to differentiate between the negative stereotypes and the reality of actresses’ lives.

Regarding her personal approach to relationships, Udeze emphasizes the importance of using discernment and intuition.
She chooses to focus on what feels right in her relationships and is prepared to walk away if circumstances don’t align with her values or needs.
