@MsMasasa @NoxNonozi Once on a set, I had to fall in the scene,the director asked me to dive onto a concrete floor, I asked for a stunt coordinator or something to fall on so I don’t break something, he told the producers I was a diva, ur damned if u do, ur damned if u dont.

On another set, the extras hadn’t been fed since we’d arrived, we’d had breakfast and abt to serve lunch but not for the extras, I said I wasn’t going back to set until they were fed, I was the leads on we couldn’t carry on w/out me,they then gave in fed them. https://t.co/OEmGNyZq3n

The next day, Dir calls me in to say, “you need to understand that at your level there are certain battles you can’t fight, you need to learn to look away if ur gonna get far, caring about extras is beyond u now” 😓Thought I was dreaming 😰
