Damtse criticised Yvonne Nelson for her negative portrayal of the school, suggesting that her dissatisfaction was due to her own stubbornness rather than mistreatment.

He claimed that the actress’s bitterness stemmed from being made a day student, which he argued was a consequence of her behavior. Damtse also rejected Nelson’s complaints about the food, pointing out that the school provided the same meals as other schools at the time. In a comment on Facebook, he wrote:

"She will never speak well about Aggrey because of her stubbornness during those days. I taught her at Aggrey, and she should mention the name of a teacher who was going to beat students in that class. Liar. Her bitterness about the school is due to the fact that she was made a day student due to stubbornness; she had to stay with a town folk at Ekon. Which school in Ghana was providing students with fried rice and pizza during her time. Students in all schools ate the same food. She should stop that nonsense."
