"No iota of truth": Glitch Africa responds to Gisela, Burland's allegations

Glitch Africa Responds to Gisela and Ama Burland's Allegations

On May 30, 2025, Glitch Africa addressed allegations from Gisela Amponsah and Ama Burland. The two social media influencers claimed issues led to their exit from the Rants, Bants, and Confessions podcast.

Glitch Africa dismissed these allegations. They stated that all hosts could review content before episodes aired. The production house also clarified that past and present hosts had access to production trailers for feedback.

Additionally, Glitch denied claims that blogs accessed their content early. They asserted that no blog published material before the hosts reviewed it. They also refuted accusations of colluding with a blogger against Gisela Amponsah.

According to Glitch Africa, they intervened when they learned about issues between Gisela and the blogger. They mentioned pulling or editing episodes based on hosts' emotional well-being. One episode was not released because a host felt sad and disrespected.

The breakdown in relations with Gisela and Ama Burland stemmed from failed management negotiations. Glitch attempted to bring in a team preferred by the duo but it did not succeed. Ultimately, Gisela and Ama chose not to return for the podcast's second season.

Gisela recently expressed feeling unprotected by producers during her time on the show. She claimed there was too much drama and accused Glitch of prioritizing views over mental health. She alleged that producers paid bloggers to insult her for publicity.

Ama Burland shared her reasons for leaving as well, citing incidents behind the scenes. Both personalities denied being sacked or replaced by new hosts.

Social media reactions varied after Glitch's response. Some users expressed disbelief in Glitch Africa’s statements, suggesting they were chasing clout with their show choices.

Lydia Forson praised Gisela Amponsah and Ama Burland for speaking out about their experiences. She raised concerns about young people being exploited in media productions while expressing pride in their courage.
