Former HIV/AIDS ambassador, Joyce Dzidzor Mensah, has been crying on social media over allegations of being traumatised because of stigmatisation.
According to her, “people are distancing themselves from her and her friends.”
On Tuesday, the controversial lady who is also an actress shared a video of herself weeping in bed while Celine Dion’s song titled New Day Has Come played at the background, giving the impression she needs some great loving at the moment.
“Reality is catching up with me step by step. But I already knew this would happen to me…when people will begin to distance themselves from those who want to be my friends,” she wrote in addition to the video on Facebook.
“I’m only a traumatised soul wandering about for many years, forcing myself to be happy but only waiting for nature’s call to eternity. Life is perpetual pain. Death is end of pain,” she also said in a separate post on Tuesday.
Dzidzor made a lot of headlines in December 2014, when she publicly announced that she lied about her HIV/AIDS status for years and had never tested positive for the disease before working with the Ghana AIDS Commission as an HIV/AIDS ambassador.
After that declaration, she has been on several media platforms trying to defend her actions, even though she has received widespread criticisms from Ghanaians and the Ghana AIDS Commission.
However, in 2016, she made a shocking u-turn to say she, indeed, tested positive for the virus.
According to her, she had to lie about her status to protect her children from stigmatisation.
In 2019, she alleged she had new test results to prove she is HIV & AIDS negative.
But reports alleged that she did another test in 2021 which proved that she is indeed positive.
