Nigeriafilms reports that Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson almost caused a scene at the burial of Madam Paulina Afi Olabode Olympio, mother of Ghanaian
actor, Majid Michel, which held recently.
The ceremony went on peacefully until it was time for
some photo shoots with Majid, his family and his legion of celebrity
friends who all came to support him.
However, when newsmen at the event, were taking shots, Yvonne shouted and warned that nobody should take photographs of her.
Her
reason, we gathered, was because she is not in good terms with some of
the reporters at the event and would not want her pictures used on their
platforms.
“Me and some media men are not on that play
grounds: we are not on good terms so I don’t know why they should be
snapping me pictures” she said angrily.
An obviously agitated
Yvonne Nelson also pointed out that some newsmen deliberately tarnish
the reputation of personalities and she’s one of such.
“Some
media men go round destroying you and after destroying you, they see you
and want to smile with you, why should you snap me pictures ? she
snarled at the media personalities present.”
The attitude of the actress caused some media guys to exchange some words with her with one media man shouting back at her: “The media houses you are not in good terms with are also not on a good terms with you so please keep quite.”
The
situation was almost getting out of hand until the head of the Ghana
Movie Awards Foundation, Fred Nuahmah , stepped in to save the day by
alerting some aggrieved members of the press at the event to ignore the
disturbance caused by Yvonne Nelson.
