Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Many successful people have families that act as pillars of support, but Yvonne Nelson does not.
Since she started her career in 2007, the actress has never admitted to her family, notably her mother, that they had ever seen one of her movies.
She explained that neither the movies she appeared in nor the ones she made herself had ever piqued her mother’s interest.
“You know African mothers; they see entertainers as the unserious ones. So since I started she has never watched any of my movies before, not even one. It bothers me but I haven’t had the conversation with her. Even with the movies I produced she has never been at the premiers or watched them before,” she revealed in an interview on Onua FM.
She claims that the situation is so critical that Madam Margaret Gaddy will undoubtedly switch channels if one of her movies appears on a TV channel.
Yvonne Nelson explained that although her mother enjoys other films, particularly soap operas, the situation is different for her films since her mother just does not think she is talented.
The 37-year-old actress tried to get her mother to see her flicks with her, but they only made it through one scene, she said.
“Even when I get awards, they do not even mind, same with my two siblings. When I was banned in 2010, I was very depressed and wouldn’t even go out of my room and they still did not care. They are simply uninterested.”
Yvonne asserted that she thinks her mother’s status as a preacher, as well as some of the delicate roles she plays, are contributing factors.
