Lydia Forson Reacts to Gisela Amponsah's Exit from Glitch Africa Podcast

Gisela Amponsah recently left Glitch Africa's podcast, Rants, Bants and Confessions. Her departure has drawn attention from actress Lydia Forson. Gisela accused the producers of not protecting hosts from online bullies. This situation prompted Lydia to criticize showrunners who prioritize sensational content.

Gisela discussed her exit on her new show, Let's Do Drinks. She mentioned too much drama behind the scenes with the producers. Gisela claimed they focused on YouTube views over the hosts' mental health.

She also accused the producers of paying bloggers to insult her and other hosts online. Ama Burland, who also left the show, shared similar frustrations. The podcast now features Rose Owusu Konadu, Adjoa Tasha, and Efia Odo.

Glitch Africa was founded by Nigerian mogul Best Amakhian. It is known as Africa's largest creator network. A similar situation occurred in Nigeria with radio personality Nedu Wazobia. He stepped down to protect his peace of mind and family.

Lydia Forson expressed concern about young people being exploited for views. She empathized with Gisela and praised her for speaking out. Lydia noted that many young people suffer due to media focus on sensationalism.

In a social media post, she stated that it’s often their faces in the spotlight, not the producers'. Lydia criticized how media outlets prioritize ratings over mental health.
