The film star, 25, had earlier narrated how she was sexually assaulted at 17, noting that she had wept while under the weight of a clergyman who had carnal knowledge of her as a teenager.
In a video shared on her Instagram on Wednesday, she said she had gone to visit a deluge of fans when a bevy of ladies kept complimenting her features, but a particular woman had accosted her.
“Some said they liked my eye. But one particular lady walked up to me; complimented my eyes, nose, mouth, everything. I thanked her and didn’t suspect a thing as she’s female like me,” she said.
“As I wanted to take my leave, she asked me to give her my digits. That’s how this aunty phoned me later and I was convinced that giving her my number was the worst mistake I had made.
“She talked and I asked her where we were taking this conversation to. She then asked that she and I start dating each other. What? I hung up. I didn’t know that this thing is now rampant here.
“It was like I was drenched in cold water. I was shocked. It was just man-to-woman relations I knew. I had never seen woman-to-woman before. What’s bad is bad.
“I do not condemn anybody. And I do not judge anybody. A lot of people are on the fence on this matter, the truth that I know about this is that God is against it and so am.”
Juliana, who is also an author, is famed for her role in ‘Jenifa’s Diary’, a comedy series by Funke Akindele-Bello. She’s also a known public critic of sex before marriage among Nigerian youths
