Ghanaian television presenter Serwaa Amihere has finally broken her silence on her leaked private video.
The video which went viral on April 2, shows the well-known media personality in bed with a man now identified as Henry Fitz.
Online speculations suggest that the video dates back to 2019, long before the man in question got married.
In a statement issued and shared across her social media account on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Serwaa apologised for the embarrassment the incident has caused her family, employers, loved ones, and the businesses and brands she represents.
Serwaa confirmed that the video was recorded five years ago, adding, “At that time, significantly underestimated the extent of my influence, my potential, what I would become, and what I would come to represent to this society.”
The 34-year-old mentioned that 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 currently works at GHOne TV.
She won the Television Female Newscaster of the Year Award at the 2018 Radio and Television Personality Awards.
