People have issues with me because there are too many hypocrites in the industry - Sally Mann

Controversial entertainment journalist and pundit, Sally Frimpong Mann, has addressed the criticism she often receives from the public.

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, she denied accusations that she was intentionally being provocative or attention-seeking.

"I don’t have personal issues with any celebrity, and it’s not my fault that people misinterpret my style of presentation. I’m just outspoken and brave. Besides, if you are a celebrity and don’t want to be talked about, then go and hide under a bed," she said.

The TV show host claimed that she was only being honest in her submissions as she wants to stand out from the “hypocrisy” in the creative arts industry.

"As long as your issue comes up for discussion and I’m part of a panel, I will speak the truth and not sugarcoat anything. People have issues with me because there are too many hypocrites in the industry who only speak the truth behind cameras," she added.

Describing herself as the queen of Ghana’s showbiz industry, Sally revealed that she only recently realized the extent of her influence.

"Until last year, I had no idea how much power I wielded when critics made big issues out of my opinions. At the moment, I think I can call myself the queen of Ghana’s showbiz industry. Yes, I deserve that because I’m a very important figure in the creative industry whose opinions matter; that’s why people always pick on what I say," she stated.
