Ghanaian actress Fella Makafui has shared a poignant moment from her life where she felt driven to contemplate suicide due to relentless negative comments on social media.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, the actress said she can boldly attest that she is one of the most bullied celebrities in Ghana.
Talking about what pushed her to the edge, Fella, who is currently promoting her ‘Resonance’ movie, said it really messed up her mental health.
Surviving the negative experience, Fella Makafui said she decided not to reply to critics who don’t promote her positively.
“So far as you don’t say it that much, it stays where it is. The bad word travels more than the truth. In 2019, I was having a meeting with my manager, and he told me about something that was happening on social media and I almost took my life.
“If I tell you today that I don’t come out publicly, that’s it. The trolling effect had to be debunked, I don’t say so much to prove a point. If we are talking about people who get bullied, I am one of them. The moment I say it, it’s gone, so I don’t want to mention it.”
Fella Makafui thanks God for giving her the grace to overcome these difficulties.
“I just believe that God blesses us through our hearts. We shouldn’t hate and envy, I move with these three things. I think God is probably blessing me. I don’t think I go to church like that, I think we should do well.”
Fella Precious Makafui is a Ghanaian actress and a philanthropist. She is known mostly for her role in Yolo.
