Reflecting on the persistent scrutiny and judgments she faces, Dominic emphasised that while it has improved with time, it remains a hurdle she navigates.
“The fame is nice. It can open doors, it can do all sorts of pleasant things for you, but there are aspects of it I really don't like…you can’t really be yourself sometimes. So that's the part that I struggle with even after how many years, I still struggle with it a little bit,” she said.
“It gets better, yes over the years, but I still struggle with that scrutiny and those constant judgments,” Rita Dominic told the host, Lexis Bill.
The Nigerian actress said that additionally, some people cannot separate her from the roles she plays and these come with misunderstanding her character as a person.
