For example, there have been reports that I am a prostitute and that I killed my late husband to be successful.

To her, once she is addressing an issue which she feels would benefit the country; she does not bother whoever is involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoliticians have tried bribing me from speaking the truth about them because they know their jobs are on the line. Sometimes, I take their money alright but still go ahead to say whatever I have to\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old actress who has featured in ten Kumawood movies said a lot of celebrities and politicians have problems with her because they know what she says is the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Citing an example of some of the issues she discussed on her show that did not go down well with some celebrities, Afia Schwarzenegger said, \u201cI once criticized Shatta Wale on my show because I felt his behaviour was uncalled for. Shatta Wale insulted Charterhouse for not winning the Artiste of the year at the VGMA last year and when he won it this year, he still went ahead to insult Charterhouse for awarding him the Artiste of the Year. Which \u2018correct\u2019 human being would do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether she was not putting her life at risk by being so blunt, Afia Schwarzenegger who is the lead character on Beauty, a television series on TV3 said she does not fear for her life because she knows her facts are true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t just wake up and say things about people without doing my background checks and because I speak the truth all the time, I fear not what anyone would do to me\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Married to Rev. Boakye last year, Afia Schwarzenegger said she is not biased on any issue she discusses on her show because she feels they are all important.<\/p>\n<p>She asked that Ghanaians come close to her and find out who she really is before passing any comments about her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Graphic Online<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If one is asked to describe one unique thing about radio and TV presenter Afia Schwarzenegger, one is likely to say that she is one kind of a crazy woman.
