Embattled host of the ‘Delay’ show, Deloris Afia Frimpong Manso has issued a press statement in the wake of the controversial public exposure by Wanlov de Kuborlor on her celebrity show aired on TV3 Saturday March 10, 2012.

Delay has blamed some media houses for painting the wrong picture with their reportage on the issue thus putting the Television station in bad light. According to the statement the video making rounds on some websites showing the graphic images of Kuborlor’s manhood is not what was shown on TV.

Meanwhile, after the news broke over the weekend, the ‘Delay’ show has been suspended indefinitely from airing the TV3 platform, two TV3 employees involved in airing of the sexual material has also been suspended and there are four more victims to follow.

Information available to Peacefmonline.com indicates that headline sponsor for the show, Expresso and other sponsors have all decided to end their sponsorship with immediate effect.

Read the unedited press statements below:

The attention of Excellencia Ghana Limited, producers of the DELAY celebrity talk show, has been drawn to misleading media reports that Ghanaian musician Wanlov Da Kobolor showed his naked sex organ on television when he appeared as a guest on the DELAY show that was aired on TV 3 last Saturday March 10, 2012.

Excellencia Ghana Limited would want to put on record that though Wanlov truly showed his nakedness during the recording of the DELAY show, the video tape that was submitted to TV3 for airing was censored with the nakedness of the musician completely blurred.

DELAY is a pre-recorded production and TV3 would not have aired the show with the musician’s nakedness not censored and it is regrettable that media reports on the issue have sought to create a false impression that DELAY and TV3 had showed the nakedness of a musician on television.

We call on our colleagues in the media to be truthful in their reportage as the wrong impression being created by the misleading reports is putting the show and TV station in bad light.

The leaked video making rounds on some blogs and websites is not what was shown on TV3 and we very strongly want to put this on record.

We thank the numerous fans that have supported us for the last three years since the DELAY show started airing and we promise to continue to make the show the best celebrity talk show on TV.
