Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has drawn public attention after commenting on commercial sex work during a recent appearance on *The Moraya Show*.

In the interview, Bello said she does not judge women involved in sex work, noting that some may turn to it due to financial pressure or urgent responsibilities. According to her, individuals in such situations should still conduct themselves with dignity.

She added that while she understands the circumstances that may lead some into the profession, it should not become a long-term lifestyle choice.

“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest,” she said.

Bello further stated that some women take this path to support their families, including providing for parents or funding siblings’ education, but urged them to plan their exit. “However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living… I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there,” she added.
