Yvonne Nelson

Reports from Peacefmonline.com say that for the first time in Ghana, an actress has been hit with a total movie starring blackout. Sexy Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has been banned from acting in any Ghanaian or Nigerian-produced movie for a year.

The Gangly Ghallywood actress who is perceived to be arrogant has given movie producers, distributors, and marketers no choice than to use her as a scape goat to initiate their attempt to bring some sanity and respect in the movie industry.

Peacefmonline.com investigations into the matter reveals that Yvonne’s ban is based on accumulation of several alleged incidents of her disrespectful and rude attitude towards fellow actresses, producers and crew members on location and even when off-camera.

Alhaji Abdul Salam Mumuni, C.E.O of Venus Films Productions, who filed the complaint which culminated in the ban being placed on Yvonne, confirmed the issue to peacefmonline. According to Salam, the “Heart of Men” actress has over-step the boundaries of propriety and therefore needs to be brought to order to serve as a deterrent to others.

“She doesn’t respect,” was Alhaji Salam’s curt reply when asked why that severe action against her.

He explained that there have been series of complaints about Yvonne’s insulting behavior and lack of respect on set. The latest incident which broke the camel’s back, occurred some few weeks ago during the shooting of the new movie by Venus Films Productions titled; “4play Reloaded”.

He narrated that Yvonne Nelson got ‘mad’ on set and hurled invectives at virtually everybody including himself (Abdul Salam) and production manager Roger Quartey, because she was supposed to shoot a scene with Jackie Appiah, but Jackie had absented herself by seeking permission to attend a social event. Jackie was billed to appear as a guest judge at the just ended Miss Malaika 2010 finals which was live on TV. Yvonne therefore refused to shoot the scene alone and even when Jackie was ready, she was still adamant.

“When Yvonne realized that Jackie couldn’t come, Roger called Yvonne and told her that the shooting had been postponed to the next day. But Yvonne furiously stated that if Jackie was absent then she would also not turn up the next day…I decided to go and talk to her myself and all of a sudden she hit the roof and began shouting at me, Roger and everybody who attempted to calm her down,” Salam disclosed.

True to her words, Yvonne failed to appear on set the following day, even though she had been paid fully, thus compelling Venus Films to release the movie without Yvonne in that particular scene.

“That is what she did to me, she doesn’t respect, she feels she is on top, she doesn’t even remember where she came from…When she started (acting) she didn’t even know what close-up shot was and today she feels like she is on top,” the Venus Films CEO fumed.
