Nollywood actress Crystabel Goddy has revealed that the ban slammed on her by the AGN and the consequent lawsuit by fellow actress Princess Chineke had almost ruined her fledgling career.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Goddy who had an altercation on set with a fellow actress, Princess Chineke, at the end of which Chineke was left bleeding from the wounds she sustained from her teeth bites said all the major actors in the macabre drama tried to ruin her career but she would emerge stronger.
“I never had a relationship with the Actors Guild of Nigeria and I still don’t. I was very surprised when I heard that I had been banned by AGN. I’m not a member of the guild, so how could I have been banned by them? Even if I am a member of the guild, the ideal thing would have been to hear my side of the story before taking a decision”
“After all , it was a case of two people fighting. The fact that someone plays the victim doesn’t mean she’s innocent”
“However , I still went to meet Ibinabo with my lawyer. When she heard my side of the story , she told me that even she couldn’t put up with Princess’ overbearing attitude . She said that if she was the one, she may have even reacted more . She later took me to meet some of the trustees of AGN and they promised that they were going to lift the ban. Based on legal advice , I was told to remain silent about the whole issue but I now think that was a mistake because I ’m not someone who backs down easily .”
