Nollywood Actor Ray Emodi Emotionally Addresses Allegation of Defrauding 17-Year-Old Girl of ₦700,00

⁣In this emotional footage, Nollywood actor Chuka Ray Emodi addresses a public accusation alleging he defrauded 17-year-old filmmaker, Rosy Adigwe, of ₦700,000. Appearing visibly distressed and on the brink of tears, Emodi recounts the series of events leading up to the controversy:


He admits to accepting ₦700,000 from Rosy, originally offered as payment for a film role.


The agreement reportedly was for 40 scenes, but Rosy's production later requested 60 scenes, which exceeded the initial arrangement.


Emodi explains that the additional scenes prompted his decision to refund the money, noting he had typically commanded a much higher fee (around ₦10 million). facebook.com+7legit.ng+7legit.ng+7

Throughout the video, Emodi maintains his innocence but also expresses regret over the misunderstanding, aiming to clarify his side of the story and to show remorse for any inconvenience caused.

The video sparked substantial public reaction, with viewers reacting both sympathetically and critically. While some defended Emodi's position—that he was misled and sought to rectify the situation—others saw his behavior as indicative of unprofessional conduct in the entertainment industry.
