A MUST READ! I WANT MY VIRGINITY BACK: Nollywood Actress Speaks'

Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon, got embroiled in a scandal of a sort when she and her director husband Daniel Ademinokan, who has now found comfort in the arms of another actress, Stella Damasus, separated a couple of years back.

The separation made headlines for months, putting strain on the actress and her child, but like a conqueror, she survived and has since moved on with her life and looking forward to building a new life for herself.

Doris is now in a new relationship and told Vanguard Showtime Celebrity, that she wants to restore her virginity. Excerpts:

• What are the things you dislike about being in the limelight?

 I have been robbed of my private life. My life is always out there. Anyway, I really don’t care because I knew that would happen even before I got into limelight. 

• It seems Nollywood parades many single mothers, why? 

People think we are the only ones going through this, which is not true. A lot of people out there also experience same thing but since they are not in the limelight, nobody knows about them.

I am not a supporter of single parenthood. I wasn’t taught or brought up that way but mine is a situation I find myself. I wouldn’t blame any one for it. Every man or woman has the right to live their life the way they choose but I wouldn’t advise or support such. 

• Do you regret being a single mother? 

I have no regret at all. I have only learnt to be stronger. I thank God. My career and business are going on well. The only difference for me is that I don’t have to run home to cook for a husband. Life is still the same. I am normal with no problem. Life goes on.   

• Is it true that men take advantage of single mothers? 

It all depends on the woman. If you allow anyone take advantage of you, it’s your headache.  

• Why are Yoruba films poorly subtitled? 

We have not been able to get the right people to do it for us. Again, most of us are always in a hurry to send our movies to the market.   

•  What is that thing you would never be found doing? 

That should be tying a wrapper round my boobs. I don’t even have a wrapper. The first and only time I wore one was during my son’s naming ceremony.  

• It went viral that you attended a Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries MFM church to get your husband ? 

Were they there with me? I go to any church. I went there to pray to God. Thank God I was seen in a church and not with a herbalist. 

• How often do you see your son who clocked eight recently? 

He stays with his dad. I really don’t want to say much about this because we are still in court.

• What lessons did you learn from your previous marriage? 

I want to be closer to God and put God first in everything I do.

•  Is there any man in the picture? 

I never gave up on love. I have found love again in Jesus. I am married to my career right now. I am in a relationship anyway but I want to be private about it.

• How soon should we expect the wedding bells? 

He has to wait for me to achieve some things.

• What’s your relationship with Stella Damasus? 

I have no business with her.

• If you are producing a movie, can you invite Stella Damasuc as one of the casts?

 Yes, I can, after all, she is an actress and money is involved. I can do business with an enemy provided it is strictly business. Why her when I can always go for others?

• Do you sometimes wish you were still with your ex-?

 I don’t want him back. He is now in the past .

• Having been separated from your husband but now in another relationship, how often do you have sex? 

(laughs) I want to restore my virginity. I never thought of it but that will be whenever my man wants it.
