Ghanaian actress Maame Serwaa has revealed the emotional distress she endured following her mother’s death, Rose Amoateng Benson, including false accusations that she was responsible for her mother’s death.
The Kumawood star admitted the rumours pushed her to the brink of depression, even leading to suicidal thoughts.
Maame Serwaa expressed deep pain over rumours that falsely accused her of being responsible for her mother’s death.
“I was very hurt when I heard people say I had killed my mother or used her for something. Let’s say I wasn’t who I am today, or I was just an ordinary person—would people still say such things about me?” she questioned.
She revealed that the backlash had a severe impact on her mental health, leading her to contemplate suicide on multiple occasions.
“I felt really bad. There were times I would look at myself in the mirror and ask, ‘Am I a bad person?’ I tried to harm myself on so many occasions. I felt that I had lost a part of myself. The people around me even restricted my access to my phone because they didn’t want me to see what was being said about me online,” she said.
