Serwaa Amihere, a Ghanaian television presenter, has finally broken her silence about her leaked private footage.
The video, which went viral on April 2, depicts the well-known media figure in bed with a man later identified as Henry Fitz.
Online conjecture suggests that the video was shot in 2019, long before the man in question married.
Serwaa apologised for the shame caused by the incident to her family, employers, loved ones, and the organizations and brands she represents in a statement issued and shared on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
Serwaa verified that the video was shot five years ago, saying, “At the time, significantly underestimated the extent of my influence, potential, what I would become, and what I would come to represent to this society.”
According to the 34-year-old, the video was released “after five months of threats and extortion, alongside efforts by the police to bring the extortionists to justice.”
“On April 2, 2024, someone posted an intimate video of me on the internet. This came almost 5 months after threats and extortion, along with efforts by the police to bring the extortionists to book.
“At the time, 5 years ago, I considerably underestimated the extent of my influence, my potential, what I would become, and what would come to represent to this society.
“Sincerely, I say sorry for the embarrassment, disappointment, and frustration which this matter has caused to my family and loved ones, to the distinguished businesses and brands represent, and to you.
“In all, have learnt deeply useful lessons for the future,” the statement read.
Serwaa Amihere presently works for GHOne TV.
She received the Television Female Newscaster of the Year award at the 2018 Radio and Television Personality Awards.
