Yvonne Nelson Denies Being A Lesbian

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has denied being a lesbian.
Yvonne spoke to Vanguard’s Ekerete Udoh in New York, where she denied ever
being one and said she only plays the role in movies. And as a professional she
must act any role given to her.

Lesbianism is against my religious beliefs, it’s against my
cultural norms and I think it was very mischievous for people to insinuate such
about someone they hardly knew. The rumor was started by a notorious website in
Ghana last year when they reported that they had never seen me with a man. In
their warped and twisted calculation, I was thus a lesbian. Can you imagine
such crass reasoning?

That they had not seen me with a man, and may have seen me
with my girlfriends going out to have fun, and then automatically I was a
lesbian. It was a hatchet job – an attempt to discredit me, but they all
failed. I am heteros*xual and would remain one till the end. When you are in
the public light as I have been blessed and privileged to being, your life
becomes a public property and some mischievous people will say all manner of
things about you. It comes with the territory, so I forgive them”, Oshey
