Scarlet Gomez Reveals Sh*cking Emotional Toll Of ‘Wura’ Role

Actress Scarlet Gomez has disclosed that she sought therapy following her role in the hit TV series Wura, citing the emotional strain the character placed on her mental well-being.

Gomez, who portrays the formidable and ruthless Wura-Amoo Adeleke, revealed that the intensity of the role persisted even after filming ended. During a recent appearance on Paul and Baaj, hosted by Paul Utomi and Baaj Adebule, she explained that her portrayal affected her daily interactions, prompting her husband to notice a change in her behavior.

“I had to do therapy after Wura because it was bad. I went back to my YouTube jobs… and I’m supposed to play the victim, and somebody’s talking to me, and I’m looking at the person like, ‘Do you know who I am?’ I heard people call me number one, I felt like I was Wura,” Gomez stated.

The actress emphasized that transitioning out of a character can be more challenging than stepping into one, particularly after inhabiting it for an extended period. She underscored the importance of mental health, encouraging others to seek support when needed.

Wura, a Showmax series, has attracted attention for its compelling storyline and multi-dimensional characters. Gomez’s portrayal of a respected businesswoman with a hidden ruthless side has resonated with viewers and drawn acclaim for its exploration of complex themes.
