She signed copies of her book, I Am Not Yvonne Nelson, for fans at the Silverbird Cinemas and took photos with them as well.

One gentleman who was interviewed at the event said he came from Lagos, Nigeria, for the event.

Speaking to TV3, the gentleman said more celebrities should tell their own stories through books or movies and not leave room for misrepresentation. He said:

“I came from Lagos, Nigeria. We would love more celebrities to write their stories. I feel not everyone is born to be a storyteller or a writer. But it is better you tell your story when you are still alive than let people misinterpret it when you are not there. If you can’t tell it by writing a book, you can actually do that by producing a movie or something for people to see it.”
