Yvonne Nelson Opens Up On Why She Ended Every Ties With Her Biological Mother
Yvonne Nelson, popular Ghanaian actress, has revealed why she is no longer in contact with her biological mother.
In her latest book, “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” the actress also revealed that she doesn’t know who her biological father is because her mother has refused to reveal his identity.
The 37-year-old actress and mother of one stated that her putative father, Mr. Oko Nelson, is not her actual father and that she has been carrying the false surname her entire life.
According to Sel The Bomb, an internet user who read the book, Yvonne Nelson has never met her father, and is currently not on speaking terms with her mother due to the issue.
In a tweet from 2022, Yvonne Nelson also revealed that Father’s Day is a particularly sad day for her.
The Twitter user wrote;
“The most shocking revelation in Yvonne Nelson’s book is not even about Sarkodie. Her ordeal about her supposed father is the craziest revelation. Apparently, the man, Mr. Oko Nelson, now late, is not even her real dad. She says her mother lied to her. So unknown to her, she kept portraying this innocent man in her comments and interviews as irresponsible father. It was until the man was sick that her mum told her Mr Nelson is not her dad.
“Before she could reach the hospital to apologize, he had already died. The man died in 2017 without ever speaking about Yvonne Nelson publicly. He took the humiliation to his grave. However, Yvonne has apologized to his ghost in the new book.
“So as it’s stands now, Yvonne Nelson doesn’t know her real father, hence, the Nelson surname is not even supposed to be her name. This becomes the plot twist of the book “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson”.
“As at now, she’s not in good terms with her mum. The last time they met was like a year ago. Meanwhile, she used to praise her mom as her heroine. Sadly, she’s the villain now and still refusing to disclose who is her real dad.”
