Nana Akua Addo: Eldest Daughter Jesusa Refuses Custody, Confronts Fashion Icon in Tense Video

• A viral video showed Ghanaian fashion icon Nana Akua Addo attempting to collect her children after a court granted her custody of them
• Her eldest daughter, Jesusa, openly resisted the handover and alleged that her mother had been physically mistreating her since childhood
• The footage sparked heated debate online, with many Ghanaians expressing shock that the child who once appeared in polished family photoshoots confronted her mother so boldly

Drama unfolded at Nana Akua Addo's family residence when the Ghanaian fashion icon reportedly went to collect her children following a court ruling in her favour.

The eldest daughter, Jesusa, refused to leave and made a startling public accusation against her.

The confrontation, filmed at night on a large residential property featuring a gated compound and a house with a balcony and columns, was shared on Instagram by Gossips24 TV and quickly went viral.

The footage captured a visibly tense exchange across different areas of the compound involving several people, including an unidentified man who stepped in to mediate.

In the video, Jesusa told her mother that she had been beating her since she was a child, framing the physical discipline as abuse rather than correction.

The mediator pushed back, arguing that a parent correcting a child does not justify confronting them in the manner Jesusa did, and urged her to separate whatever was happening between her parents from her own relationship with her mother.

Jesusa's Outburst Stuns Public

The footage has added a new and unexpected dimension to what had previously been understood as a domestic abuse situation in which Nana Akua Addo was the victim.

Earlier reports indicated that her husband had been violent towards both her and the children. The revelation that Jesusa is now directing similar accusations at her mother left many Ghanaians conflicted.

A number of commenters noted that children who grow up witnessing prolonged toxicity in the home often develop complex and painful relationships with both parents, and that Jesusa's reaction may reflect deep emotional trauma rather than a straightforward allegiance to one parent.

"OMG the calm innocent children we used to see in photoshoots have also turned gangsters because they've witnessed so much abuse 😢 This is why you don't have to stay in an abusive or toxic marriage, because it will have effects on the children too."

@ehyeh_1 shared:

"They will know the truth when they grow up. But mothers, learn the correct ways to discipline your children. Some mothers use their frustrations to beat their children which later becomes resentment towards the parent."
