Nana Akua Addo, the Ghanaian actress and fashion personality, has broken her silence over viral videos and reports of alleged domestic violence involving her.
It would be recalled that the actress, in the viral video, was captured with swollen lips, a cut under her eye, and blood all over her clothes and on the floor.
Although the actress did not disclose the circumstances that led to her battered look, many claims have linked the incident to her husband, Harold Norman
In a statement, the German-born Ghanaian actress said the Ghanaian police are now investigating the matter.
The actress, through her representatives, further 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.”
