Recounting the incident, Temidayo explained that she was on the movie set on Wednesday when Papa Showw rudely demanded that she fetch him a drink. Feeling disrespected by his tone, she complied despite feeling humiliated.
Subsequently, she decided to inform her bosses, Afeez Abiodun Seriki and Niyi Johnson, about Papa Showw’s misconduct. They assured her that they would address the issue with him.
In a surprising twist, the actor stormed her set with some people to beat her up after he was reprimanded.
“On Wednesday, while we were on set, I was chatting with a colleague when all of a sudden, Morkinyo called me rudely to come and buy him a drink.
Iwo lo ra drink fun mi, he said. I had to look back and confirm because we don’t talk like that. I felt ridiculed by the manner in which he sent me on the errand but I still went to buy the drink for him.
However, when I got to my hotel room, I reported him to my bosses, Niyi Johnson and Afeez Abiodun Seriki, and they promised to call him to order.
I think one of them called him yesterday afternoon and he came to the set with some people to beat me up. He kept punching me in the face and raining curses on me. People were holding him but he refused to let go of me until he broke my lip with his fist”.
Temidayo Morkinyo added that her family is calling for justice as the assault has allegedly left her in pain.
“My family is asking for justice Show Olamilekan beat me up because of origin drink I be your maid?
