The movie producer is surely reacting to the various time’s celebrities who fall sick have taken to social media to source for financial aid to recover from their illness.

Mildred Okwo pointed out that it is saddening to know that some actors have featured in a lot of movies but still require crowdfunding when they fall ill. The movie producer lamented about the state of the industry as she described the industry as unprofessional.

In this tweet, Mildred wonders how movie actors, directors, and producers run to the public for help when they fall ill despite having over 100 movies to their names.
