The gossip windmills had been grinding the rumour for some time now, it has been confirmed that indeed sexy Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has been banned for a year in Ghana and in Nigeria.
Multiple accounts of recurring public displays of obscene language and behaviour from the actress towards colleagues and decision makers have finally caught up with her. The ban originated from a complaint filed by the Venus Films Production CEO, Alhaji Salam Maamuni, that brought about an urgent meeting of Ghanaian movie industry decision makers who all had some friction to report in their various endeavours with Ms Nelson.
The latest incident happened on the set of her latest movie entitled “4Play Reloaded”,produced by Venus Film Productions. Displeased with the absence of her co-star Jackie Appiah with whom she was to shoot a scene, Ms Nelson verbally abused anyone who was within earshot and cared to listen.
Nigerian movie makers have been notified by their Ghanaian counterparts and advised not to hire the services of Ms Nelson. Any Nigerian movie featuring Ms Nelson will be banned in Ghana. The Ghanaian authorities hope to make an example that should send out a strong signal throughout the industry and discourage similar behaviour.
The ban is due to run from October 2010 till October 2011. Calls placed to Ms Nelson and her representatives were not returned at press time.
