They Failed to Film My Scenes- Yvonne Nelson Recounts Her Flare-Up With Salam That Got Her Banned For A Year

Yvonne Nelson has recounted a series of events leading to her one-year ban in the Ghanaian movie industry while speaking to ace broadcaster and TV host Kafui Dey on GTV.

Yvonne said there was a near altercation with movie producer Abdul Salam when they were on set the misunderstanding that erupted in the ensuing melee got her suspended.

Nelson said at that period she was a student at Central University College and had to juggle between her profession and acting yet Salam deliberately delayed her on set during the shooting of a movie.

She said she showed her dissatisfaction during production when, despite skipping school to attend on set, she was not permitted to shoot her scene.

“Something occurred on Abdul Salam’s set, and I voiced my displeasure.” I spent two days on the set without missing a beat, yet they did nothing with me.

They failed to film my scenes. I was studying at Central University at the time. I recall that Salam was aware that I was at school and that I had homework, tests, and essays to write.

But I thought they were just ignoring me. There are so many females in line waiting to play what you are doing on the set that it doesn’t matter if you are in school or not. Why, then, are you even grumbling?

So on the third day, I warned them, “Listen, if I show up tomorrow and you guys don’t film, that would be the end of it,” she recalled.

Even though Yvonne insisted she did not threaten anybody, she recalled how the event resulted in a one-year suspension.

“Salam became irate, and I fled. However, I recall that Majid Michel was on the set, and he recalls everything that transpired that day.

I returned, went back to school, and all I heard was that Yvonne Nelson was being banned. She won’t be able to act for a whole year. That’s exactly what happened, she realized.
