Rita Dominic said she moved to London because she fell out with some friends she considered family and needed a fresh start.

Popuar actress, Rita Dominic has revealed why she took a break from Nollywood.

According to her, she took a break to become a caregiver in London.

The famous actress opened up about her former job while speaking at the recent Women of Valour International Women’s Day event in Ghana where she was spotted in her fashionable red blazer on tassel skirt while dancing.

She said:

“Many of you do not know but in 2001/2002 I stopped acting, I left the industry, I moved to London because it was a very dark period of my life, like I said, I had these issues, I just fell out with some friends I considered family and I just gave up acting for a while, I needed to get out, just leave that space for a minute.

“And then I moved to London and then gave up stardom and then, you won’t believe it. This is something I never told people before but while in London I was trying to make ends meet so I started working in a care home as a caregiver for adults with special needs, while some might view it as a step-down, I don’t.

“Taking care of others brought me joy and purpose at the time I needed it most because remember I took care of my mother and my father when they were ill because I was alone with them.”
