Ghanaian comedian, Afia Schwarzenegger has bemoaned how Ghanaians are mocking her following the leakage of her nude video and pictures.
A video of Afia Schwarzenegger allegedly cheating on her husband, Maxwell Abrokwa, went viral on social media last week. The video recorded by Mr. Abrokwa captures Afia Schwarzenegger naked with only a white towel covering her torso and wearing a head scarf.
In another video recorded with Ghanaian actor Tornado, Afia is heard saying she is free to go naked in her house because “her vag**a is her own property”; she cannot fathom why many Ghanaians have an issue with her videos, which have gone viral.
However in a one on one discussion with Media personality, Anita Erskine, why Ghanaians are not calling for the persecution of her husband but are rather condemning and laughing at her.
“If these threats were made towards any other woman and this video had been circulated with any other woman as the victim, every security agency, law enforcement body and social group would jump into action to protect her and prosecute the man….but I am Afia Schwarzenegger so you’re all going to sit, watch, laugh and say I deserve it….you forget that after everything is said and done, I am a human being and blood runs through my veins just like you” Afia told Anita which she (latter) wrote on her facebook wall.
Below is Anita's full post on facebook
This morning, I spent some quality time with my friend @queenafiaschwarzenegger. We chatted about motherhood, woman hood, work / life balance, the media industry and everything else in between. We laughed at some things. But then, as naturally as the current environment would have it, our conversation glided into her life over the last 144 hours and counting! A gorgeously hefty blend of humiliation, fear, confusion, emotional torture and above all, abandonment.
Our conversation spotlighted everything from the night of the now famously infamous #AfiaAffairgate to the importance of teaching her daughter Pena different languages. As much as I didn’t want to come off as a nosy reporter, my genuine zeal to discover and uncover stories for the sake of lifting my voice and roaring out the need to fight for justice for Women, reared its ugly head. And I asked the question of doom.
“Afia what happened that day?” At first she smiled…..and then as if the veins in her throat were about to burst, she begun to speak. Half way through, she broke down. I let her cry it out and waited a few minutes, distracting myself with her daughter, Pena, who was seated at my feet, happily distracted by cartoons. After a while, we resumed our conversation and spoke at length. We spoke about second chances and purpose.
Here’s what I learnt this morning…..1) If Journalists swore an Oath before assuming office or going out into the field of work, the way doctors and lawyers do, we would consciously research, powerfully inform, thoroughly follow through and aggressively protect the subjects of our stories. 2) Every human being, no matter how overtly and overly boisterous, seemingly nonchalant, can indeed hurt baldy and be broken into tiny pieces in a way that can have an eventual wholesome destruction if other parties don't intervene. 3) Women, in particular, own what I call “The Skill to Create the Fabulous Art called Covering Up…” be it abuse, violence other anything that clearly poses as a threat to their lives.
2/2 4) For a very vocal generation, with the internet at our mercy, our silence is horribly loud! We maintain our silence about the truth that hurts us and would rather showcase a “forced” strength, camouflaged in laughter, smiles and terms of endearment, in order to protect and shield the ones we love (even when we know they don’t love us back). And we have to start speaking up loudly and fighting back harder. Here’s what I concluded after the hearty discussion with @queenafiaschwarzenegger. Afia’s life is exactly that….her’s. It’s as simple as that. As a full grown adult, how she lives it and with whom for that matter, is her choice.
As a citizen, human being and Woman, her protection is our’s…….ESPECIALLY when a clearly domestic affair, has become a public circus.
She said something that hit and stung me into shame “If these threats were made towards any other woman and this video had been circulated with any other woman as the victim, every security agency, law enforcement body and social group would jump into action to protect her and prosecute the man….but I am Afia Schwarzenegger so you’re all going to sit, watch, laugh and say I deserve it….you forget that after everything is said and done, I am a human being and blood runs through my veins just like you.”

You see in life everyone has his or her destiny , what every she call her self, you don't need to exposed your self to the public because you cuasing the children of God into darkness, what she does is evil, tell her to repent or perise in hell fire, she need counseling and prayers
Y did u do dat to ur husband is not gud kraa as marriage woman like same on to u and u talk too much stop dat wai.
I respected you a lot because of your program but now you are the biggest ***barred word*** and ***barred word*** married who I have ever seen on this earth.
In bibles days women caught in adultery were publicly stoned. It is the same as the social media bashing. If you had divorced your husband no one has any business ridiculing you.
Nonssseeense. Efiaschwarznegger be one idii.o00t ...when the video leaked was she not the same person who said we should put her on the Ghana map??? now that ghanaians are putting you on the map u re talking rubbbishhhhh.. nkwasiias3mkwa...
When u were phooling around insulting prophets and others did u ever thought they also have blood in their veins or u thought they have pito rather in their veins. What did u say about rashida few meeks ago to the extent of insulting Ghanaians for rashida's behavior. Those other women respect and dont talk any how to elders so if u want people to sympathize with u then be ready to respect elders. You are yet to see the worse thing in life
In as much as I do not agree that the video shud go viral like it has I also think you have done enough damage to others via your programs than necessary. Why won't you also apologize to those people too. They also have blood running thru them. You have your private life to live but you must also be a role model for others. hmm This is hard.
She deserves whatever is happening to her and much much worse than what she is going through. This hopefully will serve as a lesson to all those women in the country who become abusive and disrespectful to all and sundry because of their association with so called "big men" within the community. There are a lot of prostitutes in the country who go about their business out of the public glare and with respect for others. Some are running businesses that employ people and no one hears about them yet this good for nothing moron was given a platform which she used to insult prominent and hard working people in the country. Today she is now asking for sympathy? The Worse is yet to come.
***barred word***, Afia!! Were you not the same person who shamelessly boasting about killing Funny Face's 2 minutes story and went ahead to ask that we circulate further the video? I felt very sad and sympathized with you when I saw the video but everything changed the next day when you made that video as if you did not care about what happened to you. I also saw the other video you did with Tornado and afterwards I think cant ask we show sympathy with this kind of behavior. Stop the needless guy-guy things she dey do, and we will stand with you.
hahahahhaa kwakwakwakwekwukwikwoaa i can't stop laughing
