Yvonne Nelson Fights Journalist

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson is currently in a fierce fight with an Art and Entertainment writer, Mustapha Ayinde Inusah, who writes for “Flex Newspaper” and ghanaianmovies.com.

The tall actress is ‘mad’ with the writer and has warned him not to write anything about her or use her pictures in any of the mediums he writes for.

An observation made by peacefmonline.com yesterday Thursday July 1, 2010 during the press preview of a new movie “The Game” at the Silverbird Cinema in Accra, confirms that the “Princess Tyra” actress is bent on keeping her distance from the writer, and she has no intentions of making peace with him.

After the movie was screened to the media, a few questions were allowed from pressmen present in the cinema. The journalists were then asked to move out so they can have one-on-one interviews with the cast and crew, and it was there that Yvonne exposed her uncontrolled temperament.

When Mustapha pointed his camera to take a shot of Yvonne, just like any other journalist was doing, Yvonne shouted in the full glare of everybody present: “Why are you taking pictures of me, why? what are you going to use it for? Please, please, please don’t take any short of me. I don’t want you to take any picture of me,” she screamed with so much aggression and anger.

On the other hand, Mustapha also said at the spur of the moment “Who said I was taking your picture? It is not your picture I am taking. Why would I take your picture if you don’t want me to?” he asked in shock.

The Director of “The Game”, Frank Raja, and officials of Double D production who were present at the spot, tried to cool tempers down for the programme to go on. However, peacefmonline investigation reveals that, the actress’ shocking attitude towards Mustapha is based on some publication Mustapha made about her in the past, about her owing school fees, and her alleged relationship with some male celebrities among others, which she was not too happy about, because she claims it’s her private life.

When peacefmonline.com spoke to Mustapha Ayinde (Attractive) who is a member of the Arts Writers Association of Ghana (AWAG), he said Yvonne is just displaying her intolerance and arrogant attitude. “She is doing this because of some stories I did about her in “Flex” some months ago.

We published that she did not pay her school fees at the Central University, and she wrote unprintable words on her facebook wall about me and my newspaper”. He added that as if the facebook comment was not enough, she called him on phone and rained all sorts of insults on me and all Entertainment writers in Ghana.

Mustapha said, Yvonne Nelson has not been able to deny that she owed school fees, which means that the story is true. He said he had his information from a member of the school administration, and any other story he has done on Yvonne he was reliably informed before he wrote them.

He said, Yvonne gave him the same attitude when he met her a few days ago on set, shooting for Roger Quatey’s movie, on the Spintex road. Meanwhile Yvonne, who was not ready to talk about this, has refused to apologize to Mustapha and his Newspaper for threatening and insulting them. She told ‘The Spectator’ newspaper:

“I don’t owe anybody an apology, and I am even happy they are saying they will not publish anything about me again”. Several attempts by some influential people in the movie industry to settle this issue have proven futile.
