Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has explained that he’s always careful when filming with female colleagues and makes sure to ask for consent before any physical contact, especially if the co-actor is married.
The actor made this known while responding to rumours linking him romantically to his married colleague, Bambam, following speculation about her marriage.
Speaking to BBC Igbo, he said, “I met BamBam for the first time when we shot that movie and before filming, I was always ask my co-lead actor if it is okay to touch them in a certain way, especially the married ones because I don’t want them to have problems at home”
“But People Started Saying We Slept Together And Were Dating, Which Was Completely False.”

This is not the first time Uzor has responded to claims about him and the actress.
While there were rumours about problems in Bambam and Teddy A’s marriage, someone on X claimed that Teddy A divorced Bambam after learning she was pregnant with Uzor’s child. The user also said Teddy A found out through a leaked private chat.
In response, Uzor said he would hold the person who made the claim accountable, hoping it would teach others to respect boundaries and avoid seeking attention at the cost of someone’s reputation.
