According to the actress, she and some of her colleagues, including Abdul Salam Mumuni and Akofa Edjeani Asiedu, could not attend the AMAAs because the plane tickets they received from the organisers were fake.

She said she missed several movie shoots, another awards event and her movie premiere due to the distressing and embarrassing situation at the airport.

Gloria Sarfo noted that she and her colleagues had to return home and inform others to save them from the embarrassment they had faced.

She questioned why the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAAs) would disrespect top Ghanaian movie stars who trooped to the airport in the early hours of the day only to be stranded and prevented from attending the event.

The actress called on her colleagues in the Ghanaian movie industry to speak up against the mistreatment and advocate for systemic changes.
