Doris Simeon - 'I have not given up on men'




On if she has been sexually harassed by producers and directors: What I will say is that I have the experience of people or producers toasting me, that is a normal thing. However, if you want to do, you agree and if you don’t want to do, you don’t. It is only the grace of God that sustains one.



On some actresses who live flamboyant lifestyles which they cannot maintain and as such, they get married to any rich man who comes to them without getting to know him well: It all depends on how you were brought up and your choices in life. Some ladies prefer to suffer with the guy while some will not, except the man can provide whatever she wants. After you had been trained, you have to train yourself too. It all depends on how you decide to live your life and the kind of man you want. We are not equals; we are brought up from different homes, decide to discipline ourselves differently and want all the things we want differently. We all cannot have the same thing or everything that we always wanted; so it all depends on their choice and not that all celebrities want rich men. It depends on how you package yourself and present yourself. They say you will be addressed the way you are dressed.



On the increase in the number of divorces among celebrities: One thing I will say about this is that, it is because we are public figures, that is why people say that it is only celebrities’ marriages that crash. There are a million and one people who are not celebrities and whose marriages too have crashed; but people don’t know about it.



Like I said, ours is always talked about because we are public figures but it is what we have chosen in our career and life; we don’t have a choice than to accept and embrace it that way and then live with it. So, it is not only about the celebrity thing. If everything is perfect, then it is not a life.



On the article written by someone who claimed to be an insider, that Daniel left her because of her lacklustre performance in the bedroom: Is the person always in our bedroom when we are doing it? Does the person enter into my bedroom whenever we are doing it and as such do analysis of how we are doing it? If the person is bold enough, let the person come outside, show his or her face and tell me how they analysed it and in the public too. Since the person has started the story, he or she should end it so that we can turn it into a film.



On if she's now officially divorced: No comment. I like it when my lawyer answers such questions.



On if she can give marriage a second chance, and the things she would avoid so that her marriage will not hit the rocks again: Can that one work? Except I am married to Jesus.



On if she has given up totally on men and marriage: I have not given up on men; I am just saying that there is no marriage that is perfect even if you try to do other things aside from what you have experienced in the last marriage. One thing or the other will still happen, that is why I said except you are married to Jesus. He is the only perfect person who will accept your faults.



On worst rumour: The rumour I heard about myself never brought tears to my eyes but instead, it made me laugh. The rumour was that I was at a fuji show and I don’t go to fuji shows. It was a full page and they wrote the story as if they were there, that I was dancing my heart out at the show. Also, there was another story that about 10 or 11 years ago, I was dating Saheed Osupa. It was so funny because I have never gone to a fuji show nor have I ever dated Saheed Osupa.



On where she sees herself in the next five years: It is only God who can say where one will be in the next minute. So I always say ‘I want to be one of those women who will affect the lives of people positively’ but I like doing that in a very secretive way; I don’t like noise. There are street kids out there suffering that need help. I like the courage of Iyabo Ojo and Halima Abubakar and what they do with their NGO (Non-governmental Organisation). They are putting smiles on people’s faces and that is what I am aspiring to do too.
