Broadcast journalist Serwaa Amihere has broken her silence for the first time since a private video of her was leaked and circulated widely on social media.
The video depicts the well-known media personality in bed with a man, later identified as Henry Fitz.
Rumors online suggest that the video was recorded in 2019, before the man in question got married. However, others allege that Serwaa attended the man’s wedding as a guest and subsequently had an affair with him. This narrative has incited anger and criticism from many, especially considering Serwaa’s prominent position in society. Some have also questioned why someone of her stature would record or allow such an intimate moment to be filmed.
In a statement released on her official account on the evening of Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Serwaa apologized for the embarrassment caused to her family, employers, loved ones, and the businesses and brands she represents.
Serwaa Amihere writes on her intimate video saga and expresses regrets over the incident saying she has “learnt deeply useful lessons”.
“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.
The video (which was made 5 years ago) has severely embarrassed me, my family and my loved ones. It has also exposed my employers, and the businesses and brands I represent to embarrassment.
Additionally, the video has been a source of frustration to all who have been my support, inspiration, and encouragement throughout my journey in the media.
At the time, 5 years ago, I considerably underestimated the extent of my influence, my potentials, what I would become, and what I 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 I represent, and to you.
In all, I have learnt deeply useful lessons for the future.
Thank you”.
