Yvonne Nelson Secretly Apologizes To Abdul Salam

Ghanaian screen goddess, Yvonne Nelson, who has been banned from starring in any Ghanaian or Nigerian movie for a year, is reported to have secretly visited the private residence of Executive Producer and CEO of Venus Films Production, Alhaji Abdul Salam, after peacefmonline.com broke the news of her ban.

Peacefmonline.com investigations indicates that the actress went to Salam’s house on Sunday November 21, 2010, to render an unqualified apology to him for her rude and disrespectful conduct on location a few weeks ago.

According to a source close to the Venus Films CEO, a contrite Yvonne, secretly went to apologize to Salam after putting up a shocking behaviour in front of everyone on set, and to also plead for the lifting of the one year ban placed on her.

Peacefmonline is reliably informed that Abdul Salam gave the actress a warm reception but refused to accept her apology, and rather demanded a public admission of guilt i.e. she should render her apology on radio, Television, or on any other public platform.

Prior to Yvonne's nicodemous visit to Salam, peacefmonline had asked the renowned Film Producer what will make him forgive her to which he replied, “I don’t have anything against her, we are still friends but I can only forgive her after the ban is over, because that is what we as producers have agreed on,” he told Eugene Osafo-Nkansah (Entertainment Reporter peacefmonline).

He added that since the decision to place a ban on Yvonne was not a unilateral one, he has to consult the Producers Association and all the relevant stakeholders before anything could be done.

However, a source has hinted peacefmonline that a desperate Yvonne has agreed to render a public apology to Abdul Salam. The “Princess Tyra” actress, according to a close confidant, has promised to organize a press conference sometime in the near future and say "sorry" to Alhaji Abdul Salam.

Meanwhile, reports say the actresses’ woes keep on deepening as more and more producers who have suffered similar fate under her hands have filed complaints with the Producers Association about her intolerant attitude. The latest producer to complain about the actress is Mahmuda Sally, CEO of Muda Films, producer of “Kiss Me If You Can”.

For now, the fate of the sexy actress is unknown but the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) still insist that she has been banned for a year.

Yvonne was banned last October for an alleged incident of gross misconduct and rudeness to the cast and crew on set during the filming of a new Venus Films movie “4Play Reloaded”, when she virtually attacked Abdul Salam, Roger Quartey and others verbally.

Her bone of contention was that Jackie Appiah had been given permission to absent herself and be a guest judge at the 2010 Miss Malaika Finals, eventhough she (Jackie) was suppose to shoot a particular scene with her (Yvonne) on that day.

Yvonne therefore refused to partake in any further shooting for the movie after the said incident, in spite of the fact that she had been paid fully for the role.

Her one year ban effectively expires in October 2011.
