MzGee talks about replacing McBrown on UTV
In an emotionally charged Instagram post, she detailed her journey, particularly highlighting a call she made to the Bryt TV presenter Afia Achiaa Rakia, who invited Kumawood actor Big Akwes to engage in a light-hearted game regarding which female actress he would choose to marry or date.
MzGee stated that she experienced an intense emotional rollercoaster during the tumultuous period after replacing McBrown.
She expressed her frustration with how other entertainers utilised her transition as fodder for gossip on their own entertainment shows.
The Instagram video is below:
"It’s common for people to scrutinise your work when you’re not their favourite presenter," she commented, shedding light on the harsh reality of public scrutiny.
MzGee thanks Nana Aba for mentoring her
Reflecting on her challenges, MzGee spoke fondly about the support she received from some of Ghana’s most respected female media personalities, including Nana Aba Anamoah, Deloris Frimpong Manso, and Gifty Anti.
These seasoned figures reached out to her, offering consolation and encouragement to help her maintain her composure and resilience despite the adversity she faced.
In a heartfelt ten-minute video, MzGee conveyed her desire to extend the same support to a young female journalist who recently faced public backlash.
"I’ve been through so much that I truly empathise with her pain. I felt compelled to call her and say, ‘Young girl, the best of us face similar trials. Dust yourself off and rise again."
"I remember when I was bullied, insulted, and criticised for asking questions that didn’t align with others' scripts. During those times, I received uplifting calls from those who came before me, encouraging me to hold my head high and keep moving forward."
"I must shout out those who supported me, particularly Nana Aba Anamoah, who said she wouldn’t comment on the negativity surrounding me because of our bond."
