Trying to get the side of John Dumelo since Yvonne Nelson was not ready to comment on the issue, John Dumelo revealed to us that if Juliet Ibrahim Notified the media that he and Yvonne Nelson came to Ghana because of difficulties and neglect they went though in France, Then Juliet Ibrahim stands to be corrected,”We just went to France for four days and I don’t think, Four days will push any of the actors I know to face monetary challenges” he said.
Whether he still stands by his point that Juliet Ibrahim is ungrateful John revealed that he never said she is ungrateful, But at least if someone has sacrificed to give you a ticket and you just have to pay for half of your hotels bills, You should be able to appreciate the person .”May be she did not understand the terms and conditions before joining the trip” he added in his statement
When we asked him about the red carpet issue which also became one of the issues Juliet Ibrahim accused the organizers of, John narrated that to be able to get to the red carpet, you have to present a Film or you have to get a special invite.

Dumelo was quick to add that for all he knows they had a good time in France, They went to Paris Holland and met some International movie stars even though they did not talk to them. We also met some Top Producers and directors in the movie making world.
When he was asked if there is any problem among the movie stars since there is always misunderstanding between them, he revealed there is no problem among the movie stars as people are portraying.
