Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has insulted John Dumelo over a post the actor shared on social media. Dumelo on Friday took to his Instagram to share a post which depicted how married women in the olden days gave out their husbands to their maids.

Yvonne’s comment sparked a barrage of criticisms from some Dumelo fans who thought she went too far.
