Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, has opened up about the reason behind her decision to cut ties with her biological mother. In her new book titled "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson," the 37-year-old actress revealed that she is uncertain about the identity of her biological father, as her mother has kept it a secret. Yvonne Nelson further claimed that the man she believed to be her father, Mr. Oko Nelson, is not her biological father and that she has been carrying the wrong last name all along.
According to a Twitter user named Sel the Bomb, who read Yvonne Nelson's book, the actress has never met her real father and is currently not on speaking terms with her mother due to this issue. The revelation about her supposed father, Mr. Oko Nelson, being unrelated to her came as a shock to Yvonne Nelson. She expressed her regret in the book for portraying him as an irresponsible father in her comments and interviews, unaware of the truth. Unfortunately, by the time her mother disclosed the truth to her, Mr. Nelson had already passed away in 2017, never having publicly spoken about Yvonne Nelson. Yvonne has since apologized to his memory in her book.
As a result, Yvonne Nelson now finds herself in a situation where she doesn't know her real father, making her current surname of Nelson incorrect. The revelation about her true parentage serves as a major twist in her book, "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson." Furthermore, Yvonne Nelson's relationship with her mother has been strained, and they have not seen each other for about a year. This has been a significant change considering Yvonne used to regard her mother as her heroine, but now she sees her as the villain who refuses to disclose the identity of her real father.
