Ghanaian movie actress YVONE Nelson spills the beans in her new book launched on the 18th of June 2023. In the book, YVONE Nelson speaks about his past love life and various circumstances she has been through in her life. One of the chapters of the book was directed to Ghanaian rapper Michael Owusu Addo better known as Sarkodie.
In chapter eight of the book, Yvonne Nelson revealed that, in 2010, she had a romantic affair with Sarkodie with led to her being pregnant, she was not ready to be a mother at that age hence Sarkodie opted, the pregnancy to be terminated. She further revealed that Sarkodie abandoned her to bare the consequences alone during the painful period she went through while having the abortion, she added that she bled profusely, and felt pains she never felt before, she emphasized that, at a point, she felt her womb was being removed from her stomach, but through all this, Sarkodie never called to check up on her. Read her narration below;
“operation did not inspire any hope in me that it would be safe. I was given an injection that was supposed to numb the pain, but I could still feel it. I could feel the screwing inside me. I even thought my entire womb was being removed. Whatever it was, my only prayer was for a successful outcome. From the health facility, I went back to my friend's hostel. As had happened with my Nov-Dec exams after school, I hoped and prayed that I would be lucky with this second attempt. The pain, again, was intense and I bled profusely. I felt worse because Sarkodie left me to my fate in the most difficult period. He did not call to check up on me
or find out how the procedure had gone. Having an abortion is one of the most regrettable mistakes in my life. If the clock of life could be rewound to my younger self, I would keep it. But the benefit of hindsight is sometimes not useful because the lessons learned cannot be applied retrospectively. I don't know how others who have been through it feel, but my abortion haunted me for years. For instance, whenever I visited the gynecologist and had to fill out a form, there was a place on the form that asked whether I had had an abortion before. Knowing that it was important to be truthful in my disclosure to health professionals, I had
to tick the abortion box. It was not just a tick, but the disclosure of my moment of shame in a judgmental society, sharing a dreaded piece of secret with people whose perception of me might never be the same”.
