Media Personality, Serwaa Amihere has expressed regrets over the leakage of her intimate video, saying she has “learnt deeply useful lessons”.
This follows the circulation of a video which depicts the GHOne TV Broadcaster having an affair with a married man, Henry Fitz.
Speculations suggest that the video dates back to 2019, not long after the man in question got married where Serwaa was in attendance.
There were speculation that Serwaa Amihere and Nana Aba Anamoah attended the man’s wedding as guests and subsequently engaged in an affair with him, a narrative that has incited considerable anger among many who have criticized and trolled her.
Due to that, some netizens called for her suspension or dismissal by her employer, EIB Network.
In reaction the company stated that it is conducting an independent investigation and will release its findings, adding that the police are also investigating the matter and have arrested some individuals in connection with the case.
She has since been taken off from appearing on TV after the video went viral.
However, reacting to the Video, Serwaa Amihere in a statement apologized for the embarrassment the incident has caused her family, employers, loved ones, and the businesses and brands she represents.
She confirmed that the video was recorded five years ago, adding, “At that time, I significantly underestimated the extent of my influence, my potential, what I would become, and what I would come to represent to this society.”
Below is her full statement:
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.
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 that this matter has caused to my family and loved ones, to the distinguished businesses and brands I represent, and to you.
In all, I have learnt deeply useful lessons for the future.
Thank you.
