Ghanaian media personality, Serwaa Amihere has spoken for the first time since an intimate video involving her surfaced on social media.
In the video, the well-known media figure is shown having sexual relations with a man who has now been identified as Henry Fitz.
Online rumours claimed that the video was taken in 2019, a long time before the man in question got married.
Others, however, claim that Serwaa Amihere was a guest at the man’s wedding and later had an affair with him.
This version of events has infuriated many, who have denigrated and ridiculed her due to her social standing.
However, Amihere has apologised and shed more light on the situation and how she was being blackmailed for months until the leaking of the video.
In the statement issued via her Instagram and X accounts in the late hours of Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Amihere wrote,
“On April 2, 2024, someone posted an intimate video of me on the internet. This came almost 5 months after threats and extortion, along with efforts by the police to bring the extortionists to book”.
“The video which was made 5 years ago has severely embarrassed me, my family, and my loved ones. It has also exposed my employers and the businesses and brands I represent to embarrassment”.
“Additionally, the video has been a source of frustration to all who have been my support, inspiration, and encouragement throughout my journey in the media”, she continued.
Amihere went ahead to acknowledge the impact the leaked video had on both her personal and professional lives and apologised for the consequences.
She concluded her statement by stating that she had learnt from her mistakes in the past.
“At the time 5 years ago, I considerably underestimated the extent of my influence, my potential, what I would become, and what I would come to represent to this society. Sincerely, I say sorry for the embarrassment, disappointment, and frustration which this matter has caused to my family and loved ones”.
“In all, I have learnt deeply useful lessons for the future”, she concluded.
Meanwhile, three people are presently being investigated by the authorities for allegedly spreading the aforementioned video.
