Media personality, Anita Erskine, has bemoaned how Ghanaians were readily alert in spreading nude pictures and videos of popular Ghanaian comedian, Afia Schwarzenegger, saying ‘it was inhumane and not deserving even for Afia.’

Anita Erskine wrote on her Facebook wall a rather deep and thought-provoking piece from her visit to Afia after the incident.

“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 ‘especially when a clearly domestic affair, has become a public circus.”
