Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Actress and socialite, Efia Odo discussed the speculation surrounding her exit from a restaurant where she was once an employee and co-owner.
The actress faced backlash on social media regarding her ownership of the Eats Avenue restaurant and the allegations surrounding how she obtained the partnership.
One of the assertions was that she is in a romantic relationship with her business partner from the restaurant, who holds the majority of shares.
During a recent podcast episode of Rants, Bants and Confession, Efia Odo strongly rejected the allegations, asserting that she has a “platonic” bond with the co-owner who backs her in all her endeavours, referring to him as her “uncle”.
“They started creating stories that the man and I are dating that we are in a relationship. That’s the mess up thing about it. He is someone that I respect so much, he’s really put me on a pedestal, he’s opened my eyes to the business aspect. He made me feel like a woman of substance and puts energy into everyone he’s around so I didn’t like the idea that we were dating…so false,” she said.
She also debunked the claims that her co-partner caught her in a compromising situation with Medikal’s manager, Kofi Jam.
“One instance Medikal’s manager came there. They said my co-owner saw me chopping the guy at the restaurant. Like how?” she questioned, dismissing the rumour as completely false.
Efia Odo explained that her friendly and sociable nature is often misinterpreted as flirtation, leading to misconceptions about her behaviour.
“I am someone who welcomes everyone. I am very hospitable and sociable. I will flirt with my customers because the more I flirt, the more money comes. I do it to both males and females just to let them know that I am not a welcoming person,” she said.
Reflecting on the impact of the gossip, Efia Odo admitted, “A lot of this gossip affected me; I am human.”
Efia says she remains focused on moving forward despite the recent controversy in her life.
She further stated that she remains a co-owner of the restaurant and has not disowned her 40% ownership.
