Our attention has
been drawn to a publication with the headline;‘ I have not blacklisted
the media – Yvonne Nelson’ and in this article, Yvonne Nelson revealed
to a section of the media she met on her arrival at Kotoka International
Airport that she hasn’t blacklisted the media but rather, sometimes,
the media does not behave professionally.
In our quest to
find out more from one of Ghana’s top journalists Mustapha Ayinde
Inusah/popularly known as Attractive, Newsmen Rep in Ghana and the Head
of Ghana Movie Writers Association, he revealed to Newsmen that, Yvonne
Nelson does not have any moral authority to blacklist any Ghanaian media
house or person; rather, the media has decided to sideline her due to
her own rude attitude and indisciplined propensities.
“We the media are
more powerful than any celebrity or Yvonne Nelson and that, Yvonne can
never blacklist the media but rather the media has blacklisted her. Some
of us who write solely as movie writers in Ghana decided to blacklist
her because of her indisciplined acts and the fact that she doesn’t
respect the media. She forgets that it is the same media that made her
and the same media can ‘humble’ her to where she started,” he posited.
He cleared the air
about Yvonne Nelson who complained about Ghanaian media men not
contacting her before they put any publication out there.“That statement
is false. Yvonne Nelson has a very bad attitude amongst all the female
stars we have in Ghana. She wouldn’t even pick your call if you call or
reply a text if you SMS her to reveal your identity as a journalist,
even some of us who started promoting her . She might end up insulting
you if you try, hence we blacklisted her.”
“I am the first
person to write a profile on Yvonne Nelson As far as I am concerned, on
record, Yvonne Nelson is having problems with majority of Ghanaian Art
Writers, Journalists, Media Houses, etc. It will be in her best interest
if she understands the work she’s doing, her status and receive media
people with warm arms in order for her to enjoygood publicity” he
advised.
Should Yvonne Nelson eat the humble pie and apologize for her recent comments?
