Actress Yvonne Nelson has expressed shock that an ‘adult male’ would
publicly spread reports that allege she is into skin bleaching.
The actress has fired back at the said reports in a rather strong-worded and intriguing statement NEWS-ONE reproduces unedited:
STATEMENT
My
attention has been drawn to recent media reports, especially from a
certain Chris-Vincent that I am bleaching my skin and the continuous
nature of this reports have compelled me to once again respond but this
time with particular attention to Chris Vincent.
My understanding is that Chris-Vincent is a Ghanaian residing in the UK and he is the founder and editor of a blog.
I
have observed that Chris Vincent has remained consistent in churning
out very defamatory stories about my person and some of these negative
stories have found their way into mainstream media publications.
The
wicked, unfounded and absolutely unnecessary misinformation that I am
bleaching is the latest negative attack from Chris against my person and
once again, he has successfully found his way into mainstream media and
being granted radio airtime in Ghana to run me down.
I
would not be surprised that he would, as characteristic of him, spin my
response in a rather negative way, put it on his blog and then generate
more negative comments from ‘supposed’ readers whose identity cannot be
traced or even authenticated.
What I do not understand
is why an adult male, and a Ghanaian adult male for that matter, would
spend his time running around with stories about which lady is bleaching
and which lady is toning her skin.
It is even more
strange when these stories are absolutely not true and do not in any way
put food on anybody’s table, does not add value to any body’s life and
can only be described as mischief.
I fully understand
the dangers of skin bleaching and would not engage in any such venture. I
am a lady and I appreciate my God-given looks.
I do not
need to change my skin colour for any reason and I do not see how and
why an adult male would come out with such thoughts and even have the
courage to run round with such stories in public when there are more
productive things to think about.
Truth is that even if I
was bleaching, I do not owe Chris Vincent an explanation, but I am not
bleaching, I have not bleached and I won’t bleach.
I love my skin just the way it is and I do my best to keep it healthy and nice.
If God has remained good to me and continues to make my skin nicer, I do not see how it should be a problem to someone.
In
a society that largely frowns on skin bleaching, it would be unfair and
very unkind to falsely accuse me of bleaching when I am absolutely
innocent of that charge and I just hope people who know Chris Vincent
would draw his attention to this.
As an actress I take
different pictures under different shades of light and with different
shades of makeup depending on what the picture would be used for.
It
is therefore not strange to find different pictures of me looking
different. It does not mean I am bleaching and one does not need to be
an industry player to know this.
Even in movies,
depending on who the director is, there are different lighting angles
and brightness levels that can be used to make a character look
different and this is no secret. Even a change of weather can have an
effect of one’s skin.
I want to use this platform to
assure all persons who have expressed worry about these reports that
there is no cause for alarm because I am not bleaching, have not
bleached and would not bleach.
I hope Chris Vincent would be gentleman enough to do the honorable thing.
There are more prudent and beneficial things to focus on and these frequent distractions are of no use.
I
should have spent this time focusing on my new movies or memorizing my
next script and not responding to false gossips from an adult male.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Yvonne Nelson
