Nana Ama McBrown, a Ghanaian media personality and actress, has vented out against the pervasive allegations and speculation that she was involved in the death of actress Suzzy Williams.
Suzzy was at the pinnacle of her career before she tragically passed away in a vehicle accident in September 2005. During that time, Suzzy was a highly coveted actress and the face of Ghana’s film industry. She appeared in practically every TV advertisement and film.
The late actress was gifted and had the ideal appearance for the big screen. Nana Ama McBrown was only starting out in the film industry at the time. She had entered the movie industry with the hope of making a name for herself.
Because of their skills and similar appearance, Suzzy and McBrown frequently appeared together in movies. However, after Suzzy’s tragic death, vicious rumors started to circulate, erroneously accusing McBrown of being involved in her death.
McBrown publicly expressed her shock and sadness over these vicious fabrications, while also providing clarification on the suspicions and allegations in a poignant disclosure on her Onua Showtime program.
“Suzzy was like a sister to me. We were often paired together on sets, including Abdul Salam Mumuni’s productions and shows like Tentacles. When I first heard of Suzzy’s death; I had just got back from Italy. I was in a ford. bus heading home, and that was when I found out. It was a shock,’’ she disclosed.
“At that time, Suzzy was hotter and more successful than me. I know I was also getting noticed, but Suzzy’s presence, especially in Accra, where the entertainment scene was so vibrant, it was undeniable, and she had the confidence that came with it.’’
She furthered, “When I heard the news, the first person I called was Kofi Adjorlolo to confirm if it was true. He told me It was, and he even mentioned he was standing by her body at the mortuary. It wasn’t a serious injury, just some scratches on her breast. Not too long, I started hearing accusations that I had killed Suzzy.”
If I’ve ever gone to any juju man; I challenge them to come forward and speak,” Nana Ama vented out.
“At that time, we didn’t even know what competition was. Suzzy was Ewe, and I’m Asante. How could an Asante woman like me have done something like that to her?”
“It hurts, and to this day, people still accuse me. But I leave it to God,’’ she added.
