The Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Beverly Afaglo has taken to her social media pages to react to certain comments made about her in the media space after some comments she made in interviews granted.
The remark got a Ghanaian publicist and PR manager, Alexander Fiifi Abeka, popularly known as Xerda, to take to her Facebook page to state that he feels Beverly is one of the bitter actresses in Ghana.
He wrote:
“Actresses who overtook me when I was single are looking to start a family – Beverly Afaglo.
“The whole Ghanaian movie industry circle, this woman’s bitterness amuses me pass. Like she felt she was destined for greatness and it never reached the equilibrium so everyone should be ready for her failure”.

The post triggered a lot of reactions from followers of Xerda, who appeared to have similar opinions about the CEO of Traffic Shawarma and why they felt she was actually bitter and not too relevant.
The actress is reported to have made some comments saying that she believes some of the actresses who gained popularity in the movie industry when she decided to take a break and focus on her marriage are now searching for their life partners.
Beverly appearing on a show was asked by the host about the comments she was making on social media pertaining to actresses now looking for their life partners.
The popular actress went straight and explained that the things she said on social media were rather taken out of context.
She later took to her Instagram page to further reply to netizens.
She wrote in a long post:
“My name is Beverly Afaglo. I am a pure-hearted and sincere personality. I am real, I don’t pretend, I don’t fake. I’m just being me. I’m a Gemini so most times I’m too blunt and sincere and some people can’t stand that about me and they call me names. I don’t want popularity or trends, I have had enough in my lifetime. You have no idea how many interviews my management and I turn down daily and weekly. I don’t grant interviews. I hate them because I’m sincere and some people get offended when I speak the truth so I avoid them. If you get me on your show, you have persisted and pushed for so long and I respect you so much I couldn’t keep saying no.
“Now, if I’m not relevant I won’t be invited to shows/events. If I’m not relevant, people won’t write about me. They know I drive traffic for them. Dear writers and commentators, you don’t know me personally so when writing about me use some decorum because this is a brand that has been built over 16yrs of hard work and consistency. Thank God I’m still called for jobs and appearances and that’s all my business is, not for trends. Don’t use my name to get a name and still call me a nobody.
Beverly Afaglo
I am Beverly Afaglo, don’t compare me to your favorite. Stay with ur favorites, and allow my favorites to love me just as I am. Hating someone you don’t even know is evil. Enough, please. Thank you”.
Beverly Afaglo laments on ailing movie industry
Actress, TV presenter, and entrepreneur Beverly Afaglo Baah lamented the ailing state of the movie industry.
The Ghanaian movie industry has over the years seen little or no revamp, many actors have lashed out at the collapse of the art industry with lots of the players venturing into other side hustles.
Adding her voice to this matter, she mentioned that hope was the only rope they were clinching onto but the comeback seems far-fetched.
She explained that the lack of funding and unavailable resources are contributing factors to the slumber of the movie industry, also citing private individuals who invest in producing content but don’t make the returns in the long run which is worrying.
She said:
“We were holding onto hope, thinking it will bounce back but it seems far-fetched, truth be told the industry is dead. I was having a conversation with one of my colleagues about the industry but in conclusion, we realized there is absolutely nothing happening towards reviving the industry. It is pretty worrying.
“Only Akwaaba magic on DSTV produces content lately by contracting producers of the likes of Shirley Frimpong Manso, Ivan Quarshigah, and Smartys productions. We are doing the best we can but it is not working. Our very own actors turn producers don’t even get their returns when they invest in production”.
