Jackie Appiah & Abeiku Santana In Sex Scandal

Screen goddess Jackie Appiah has denied that she is having a love affair with ace radio presenter Abeiku Santana, following a sex role she played with him in an upcoming movie dubbed ‘Death After Birth’. In the said movie, Abeiku Santana was seen busily ‘banging’ his waist behind Jackie Appiah and groaning, “Wow aaoo! Give it to me… I hear you are good, wow.”

At that moment, the lady’s face didn’t show, so it was difficult to know who she was. But in the next scene, Jackie, who played Zynnell, was seen demanding money from Abeiku for her services. But he refused and pulled a gun which made her run away.

The love scene caused a storm in the studios of Okay FM some weeks ago when Abeiku Santana and Kwame Amoo, anchor of ‘Akika Akika’ gossip segment on Abeiku’s show, nearly traded blows whilst on air. Reports said the two exchanged invectives on the show as tempers flared. Kwame Amoo, sources said, stated that there was a story that a popular radio presenter had sex with a famous actress. But before he could continue with the other details of the story, Abeiku allegedly interrupted and started insulting him and asked why he went on air with such information about him.

Callers reportedly lambasted Abeiku for his action. On Wednesday, Jackie Appiah told News-One that she did not have sex with Abeiku Santana as it was being speculated. “Nothing happened. It was a make believe. We tried our best to make it believable. He is a professional and an interesting person. It was good experience acting with him. But nothing happened,” she told News-One after the movie’s press premiere at the Silverbird Cinemas in Accra.

She said the new movie opened another chapter in her acting career as it was the first time she played a prisoner. She hoped the viewing public would learn some good morals from it. This is not the first time Jackie has been in a sex scene of a movie. She was in sex scenes in ‘Heart of Men’ and Shirley Frimpong Manso’s Perfect Picture with Chris Attoh.

The new movie ‘Death After Birth’ is a tale of tragedy, pain and sorrow. It exposes some of the silent ordeals women and young girls go through in their journey through life. Produced by Roger Quartey and directed by Pascal Amanfo, it will premiere at the Silverbird Cinemas, at the Accra Mall of Friday September 2, 2011.

Pretty girl Zynnell (Jackie Appiah) is born into the world by ill-fated circumstance which made her end up in jail. The brutality, hatred and sexual assault were more than she could bear. To help write a book in memory of such a sour journey through the world, she invites to the prison, Father Damian whom she unravels the episodes of the story of her ‘Death after Birth’.
