Nana Akua Addo, the Ghanian actress and fashion personality, has broken her silence over viral videos and reports of alleged domestic violence involving her.
On Tuesday, multiple reports alleged that the actress had
been hospitalised after an alleged assault by her husband. In a viral video,
she appeared with a swollen lip, a cut beneath her eye, and blood on her white
clothes.
Several other videos captured her in a dispute with her
husband and his family over what appeared to be a DNA matter. Another clip
appeared to capture her husband beating her daughter.
Reacting to the clips in a letter by her representatives,
the German-born Ghanaian actress revealed that the matter is now being
investigated by the Ghanaian police.
Her representatives urged media houses and the public to
refrain from further sharing the videos, saying it could affect the mental
wellbeing of the victims, who are already “dealing with enough trauma”.
“Our attention has been drawn to several harrowing videos
circulating on social media, showing our client and her children embroiled in a
domestic dispute. These videos were leaked without our client’s knowledge and
consent and are a deep violation of her privacy and that of her children who
are all minors,” the letter reads in part.
“We humbly request that all media houses refrain from
publishing and sharing the videos especially the ones showing the abuse of a
minor. This is a delicate matter involving young children and as such we are
counting on your responsible journalism to safeguard the mental wellbeing of
the victims of this unfortunate turn of events who are already dealing with
enough trauma.
“Please note that the matter is currently sub judice and in
the hands of the appropriate authorities. We are grateful for the timely
intervention and responsiveness of Ghana Police and are confident in the
competence of our court systems to stand up against domestic violence in our
society.
”At the appropriate time our client will address all pertinent issues, in the meantime we ask that the media and the general public respect the privacy of the family as they deal with this difficult situation. Thank you for your attention to the matter.”
