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.”

She has kids, that is what bothers me paaaaaaaaaa, what kinda example is she setting for them especially her daughter? The video was really bad regardless of her behavior, but this should be a wake up call for her to stop all this and be a good mother to her kids because honestly it might get right back at them in the future. We all need Help.
Bitch please
Afia is sick. And she needs psychological help. Maybe she has done drugs before. She is an epitome of a real ***barred word*** who does not want to change. Her own deeds will find her out. But am very much disappointed in you Anita... Your so call friend is really a bad example. But unfortunately Ghana is so much disintegrated we love the real bad things and we stand not to have a future with this attitude. God bless our home land Ghana...
So Efia knew she's a human being just like us and she keeps on insulting people even to the extent of some pastors. My question is, if you don't deserve it, then who deserves your insults and your insubordination?
No insult Ghanaians, what our sister has done is very bad but remember, it might be ur trun some day, so stop insulting her, Ghanaians are becoming unbecoming, y should the husband at the first place video her, this shows he not matured enough , cos I won't meet my husband in bed and expose him like that, her husband thinks he has exposed and disgrace her but in other ways he's affected with the damage
