Why I Quit Modeling


During my modeling years, I had so many encounters with male celebrities who saw models as easy women they could play around with whenever they wanted. I had some of them ask me to 'make their beds' because “we happen to be on the same team, and as a model, this shouldn’t be difficult.

I never failed to tell them how disgusted I was with their words, but were they to be blamed? Whenever we had traveled or hosted huge names from neighboring countries, our managers had always asked us to “be nice to them”. And girls who weren’t ‘nice’ would end up ‘staying at the bottom’ of their careers.

Before I quit modeling, I met this man who wanted me, and some friends to star in his video. We were to meet the team a day before to get acquainted. He picked me up (I met him through a mutual friend, and my friend brought him to my house), but instead of taking me straight to the team, he asked that I help him choose some clothes and shoes from a shop to which I obliged.

While picking out the clothes, he kept talking about his personal life—which I thought was too much information as we had just met. Getting a little edgy, I asked him when exactly we were going to meet the rest of the team. He not only asked me to be patient, but also made passing comments about my physique and how I was his kind of girl.

When he finally decided on the clothes he wanted, he asked that we make a quick stop at his sister’s house. We got to the house, and as I was about getting out of the car, he tried to kiss me. I withdrew and said “No, I don’t roll like that”. It started raining heavily and there was no option than to run into the house for shelter.

Inside, there were a couple of other guys playing games, and a lady in the kitchen. I then told him I had to use the bathroom. He showed me into a bedroom almost at the back of the house. When I got out of the bathroom, he was there, seated on the bed. A bit taken aback, I walked towards the door, and turned the knob only to discover it was locked.

I panicked, but managed to find my voice and told him “I’d like to go to the sitting area”. His response was “We are fine in here”. Truth stared at me in the face; he had locked the door and stashed the key somewhere. To make matters worse, the rain was so heavy and loud that we could barely hear each other. Fear gripped me; obviously from the thought that no one would hear me that easily even if I made so much noise.

I stood grounded by the door. He asked me to join him on the bed. “I’m good exactly where I am”, I replied. After a while he got up, came to me by the door and asked me to sit down. I declined. He then dragged me to the bed, and asked that I give him a blowjob. I told him I wasn’t interested and that he should let me go, but he still insisted and ‘touched’ me. I hit his hand and stood up.

Please give me the keys to the door”. He said he was horny and needed to cum. He pulled out his manhood, and asked me to “come get it”. It was sickening, but I still held my grounds. Then he stood up, walked towards me, held my hands and said I was not going to leave the room until he ejaculated. He said if I didn’t want to give him a blowjob, then I should give him a handjob, and that “it would be over in a second”. 

It was the vilest minutes of my life handling the genitals of this despicable man against my will, just so I could get my freedom.

What met me at the sitting area after was shame and humiliation. His friends or whoever they were, just sat there looking at me with a silly grin on their faces. I had to endure the longest 30 minutes of my life, waiting for the rains to stop before I scurried home, never to return to the industry.

  3. Wow!! The number of times I've seen such scenarios in movies and said to myself that I will never budge under such circumstances. Easier said than done I guess.

    1. Yes Ms. Sometimes we never really know how we will behave until we are faced with certain situations. It is only then we realize what we are up against.

      Thanks for passing by. Do stick around

      Because they are a bit famous, they think they are entitled to whatever they want which is so wrong.

Female Sexual Coercion: How Women really feel

I am 40 years old, I promise you! Well yes I have only literally lived for a quarter of a century but I swear, I am 40. Or more. I say this because some of the time, or a lot of the time I feel like I have seen too much for my age. More recently I have learned that our experiences lead us somewhere good when we let them. I have seen mine do just that and it makes me thankful, not to say to have experienced them was a good thing, but that it turned out alright after all. I wouldn’t wish that any woman goes through even a hair’s breadth of it. I seem not be clear about exactly what this is about right? I know, I actually have so much in my head right now I probably have to slow down and take them one after the other, and so I’d do just that. This is only part one.    I am writing this about women, but I’d wish for everyone, irrespective of gender, to read because it is so important, I believe. It is the matter of coercion. From what it entails (its definition) to how ...

Women, Marriage, Child Birth and The Blackmailing Older Generation in Ghana

S ome years back, in my late teens, I always told myself I’d get married before I was 23. The thought of being able to enjoy life with my companion in holy matrimony without being pressed (physically, psychologically, or biologically) for children was ideal. I wanted to travel the world. Know people. See places. For my partner and I to get our act together before creating and bringing life into this world.   Maybe the motivation came from knowing my parents discovered each other and started life together quite early. My mother had me when she was barely 21. Three kids down the line, my dad is now in his late 40s, with my mom, a little behind. Definitely, the ‘young old couple’ thingy is attractive. But. I’m currently in my mid-20s. And unmarried. So many things replaced the desire for me to tie the knot before 23. I realized, somehow, that there was no rush. My priorities had shifted. There was education, a lot of growing up to do, and basically life! And there was also ...
