Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Gloria Sarfo has firmly responded to allegations that she begged to attend the 2024 AMAA Awards, calling out her fellow actors for their hypocrisy. Speaking as a guest on UTV's United Showbiz show on Saturday, November 9, 2024, the renowned thespian explained that she had never pleaded for an invitation to the prestigious event, contrary to some reports circulating in the media.Gloria Sarfo revealed that she was invited out of the blue to attend the event, with assurances from the organizers of an all-expenses-paid trip.
However, upon arriving at the airport, she was left stranded with fake tickets, leading her to speak out about the incident. "I am not scared of calling people out when I am treated badly," Sarfo declared, emphasizing that her decision to speak up was not out of malice but as a way of fighting for the dignity of the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
The background of the actress' frustration began when she and other Ghanaian filmmakers, including Akorfa Adjeani, Abdul Salam Mumuni, and Pascal Amanfo, were invited by the AMAA organizers.
Upon their arrival at the airport, they discovered that their flight bookings were not confirmed, leaving them stranded.
