    In 2006, when i met Serrina Williams in Accra, Ghana the sister of Vanessa, she had a resemblance a look alike of a lady from Keta in the Volta Region. I am not surprise if Vanessa is partly Togo, Benin, Ghana.

  • Abu 11 years ago

    She was blackmailed with those pictures. She did not cash in. The pictures were taken before she won the pageant and some leaked the pictures

  • OBRA 11 years ago

    You see how technology has caught you! You posted as Akadu sought to correct it and Abu appeared!

  • Bling 11 years ago

    The nude pictures were taken before, not after she won the pageant.

    Someone in her past rather exposed this for cash.
