Anita Joseph opens up on how se felt by Afro-Candy's porn movie proposal, being inlove with a footballer who will soon marry her, and dumping skimpy clothes..Excerpts from the interview

On Afrocandy's proposal

"No! I can’t! How can I do pornography? I can wear short things but I can never do pornography. But I didn’t say anything to her. I learnt she would call me but she didn’t call me. I have never met her. I don’t even know her. She is not my friend.
I was so embarrassed. I was ashamed of myself. Why me? But I didn’t want to react immediately. I read what other actresses she mentioned said. They blasted her. People were waiting for my comments. But I didn’t want to talk. I just kept quiet. It is not good to react when things are very hot. My industry is one that you get spoilt if you want to and you remain a good girl if you desire that as well. You have to be strong-willed to be a good girl. It is alright though. Some people can do porn but certainly not me.We are Nigerians and there are things our culture cannot tolerate. I don’t even know where she came from. I have not seen her. That was my first time of hearing her name. I had to go and check her out on her Facebook and I was really embarrassed"

On being labelled a bad girl
"It is true. Before, I used to sit back and ask myself why people always pick on me. I think it comes with the job. Anything I do causes ‘trouble’. They say that I dated this person and that person. But ever since, I have been dating one man.

 Doesn't he feel bad when he hears stuff about you?

He is a strong man. Anybody who loves you will stand by you.

 Is he going to marry you?

Yes.

 When?

Soon. But I am not thinking about marriage

 So you really wish to get married?

Oh yes but not this year.

Who? The footballer?

Yes. We broke up and we came back again. I am not going to tell you his name. All you need to know is that he is based in Holland. He is from Anambra State.
