Yvonne Nelson: My abortion in 2010 haunted me for years
The actress revealed she was impregnated by a famous rapper based in Tema who refused to take responsibility for the pregnancy
Ghanaian movie producer and actress, Yvonne Nelson, is trending on social media following some stark revelations in her newly launched book ‘I am Not Yvonne Nelson‘.
The actress revealed she was impregnated by a famous rapper based in Tema who refused to take responsibility for the pregnancy.
Nelson revealed she had to abort the baby because she was not ready to bear a child in 2010.
In Page 93 of the book, Nelson said the decision to abort the pregnancy haunted her for many years, adding that it was one of the biggest mistakes in her life.
“Having an abortion is one of the 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 retrospective.”
“I don’t know how others who have been through it feel, but my abortion haunted me for many years,” Nelson wrote.
Below is excerpts of the book:
