“Tonto Dikeh Is A Drunk, Chain Smoker And Rude On Set” – Director Chima Okoroji

Actress and ‘singer’, Tonto Dikeh does not seem to be able to stay out of the news as this time, Nollywood movie director Chima Okoroji, has revealed more of her secrets by saying she is an incurable drunk, chain smoker and very rude while on his movie set in Enugu recently. Chima also exposed that he engaged in a serious war of words with the actress on the set over her rudeness. While filming the movie titled African Pride, he said that Tonto fought with her senior colleagues like Ken Okonkwo, Ngozi Nwosu and many others as they tried to call her to order over her bad attitude and eventually walked out on all of them. This is Chima’s words: “While on set, Tonto Dikeh kept on insulting, fighting and quarreling with everybody. She was very rude and uncouth on set. Whenever I tried to correct her, the producer, Kaycee (Filmark), will intervene and beg me not to confront her. But I got pissed and eventually called her to order when I could no longer take her insults and rudeness. She immediately flared up and started insulting me publicly in the presence of my cast and crew members. And when some of her senior colleagues tried to intervene, she also tongue lashed them. Tonto walked out on us the moment she was done with her insults and refused to shoot till the next day after much pleading by the producer. She even threatened to arrest and deal with me for daring to call her to order on set. Another problem I had with Tonto on set was her too much drinking and smoking, (sic), which she used to delay my production. It was so bad that the owners of the house where we were shooting told us to leave because they were tired of inhaling the smoke from her incessant smoking. She needs help and prayers. Tonto messed up my set, insulted me and many stars on set, including Ken Okonkwo, Ngozi Nwosu, Prince Nwafor and others by walking out on my set for a whole day, because I called her to order,” Chima Okoroji concluded.
