For The Spectator and its journalist James Harry Obeng, of the Spectator Agoro fame, the ranting 4Play actress tags a Disappointment and Miserable people, simply because they gave a front-page prominence to Roselyn, not her.
“How can you put my story in an inside page and have me and I’m highly disappointed in you,” she ranted, top of her voice, vowing “I’ll tell everybody who calls me again on this story that I don’ know you and I didn’t even talk to you about anything.”
This is the dramatic maverick Juliet Ibrahim made of herself on Monday, when she called our Arts & Entertainment columnist Obeng to insult him for carrying a story about her upcoming wedding in an inside page and then giving a front page prominence to her rival actress Roselyn.
The actress – who once walked to the office of the columnist and pleaded to be given a front page coverage in 2009, which the editor, Merari Alomele, willfully granted used unprintable words on the columnist and The Spectator, not appropriate for printing.
She then went ahead and unashamedly vowed to deny ever knowing the columnist or briefing her about her upcoming wedding in March, next month, forgetting even that the same journalist and newspaper even carried her story and picture on the front page for their first edition this year – the January 8-14 edition.
Much as The Spectator fraternity had welcomed this sordid development to realign its association with the actress, some film-lovers would also not understand the basis of the actress’ blistering attack on her colleague Roselyn, who she derogatorily called That. Both Roselyn and Juliet (and two more others – Jackie Appiah and Yvonne Okoro) won the Best Actress (Lead Role) at the maiden Ghana Movie Awards held during Christmas, last year. Both are currently involved in a stalemate over how to ‘share’ a car that they were given as their prize for the award.
It is, therefore, not clear yet, whether the attack is her (Juliet) latest approach to taunt off Roselyn from the car sharing deadlock, which now excludes Jackie Appiah who has already backed out.
This is not the first time Juliet has insulted a journalist in this country for a similar ‘offence.’ Last year, she allegedly vented similar rudeness on Mustapha ‘Attractive’ Ayinde, of both Flex newspaper and ghanamovie.net, who also carried a story about her on the back page of the Flex.
