Popular Ghanaian actress and author, Yvonne Nelson, has revealed that she does not have a good relationship with her birth mother.
The 37-year-old actress revealed the truth in her memoir, titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson”, which was released on Sunday, June 18th.
Yvonne explained that she cut ties with her mother because her mother had lied to her about her father’s identity for many years.
According to the movie star, her alleged father, Mr. Oko Nelson, is not her biological father, and she has been carrying the wrong surname.
One netizen, Sel The Bomb, who read the book and shared the information on social media, noted that Yvonne has never met her father and she is currently not on good terms with her mother due to the issue.
“The most shocking revelation in Yvonne Nelson’s book is not even about Sarkodie. Her ordeal regarding her supposed father is the craziest revelation. Apparently, the man, Mr. Oko Nelson, who is now late, is not her real dad. She says her mother lied to her. So, unbeknownst to her, she kept portraying this innocent man in her comments and interviews as an irresponsible father. It was only when the man was sick that her mother told her Mr. Nelson is not her dad.
“Before she could reach the hospital to apologize, he had already died. The man passed away in 2017 without ever publicly speaking about Yvonne Nelson. He took the humiliation to his grave. However, Yvonne has apologized to his ghost in the new book.
“So, as it stands now, Yvonne Nelson doesn’t know her real father, which means that the Nelson surname is not even supposed to be her name. This becomes the plot twist of the book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.’
“Currently, she is not on good terms with her mother. The last time they met was about a year ago. Meanwhile, she used to praise her mom as her heroine. Sadly, her mother has become the villain now and is still refusing to disclose who her real father is.” The netizen wrote.
