Social media seems to have brought celebrities closer to their fans; now
fans are given glimpses into the lives of the celebs, they get to
comment on their posts and they even get responses back.
Some even get the opportunity to hang out with and win freebies from
their favourite celebrities and this has made the social media platforms
very active.
However, some celebs seem to spend all their lives on social media,
sharing intimate details of all aspects of their daily activities with
the world but for actress, Ella Mensah, there is everything wrong with
it and she has cautioned her colleagues to be careful.
According to her, it’s not okay to put your entire life on social
media. “It’s wrong to do that, you can post stuff there once in a while
but displaying your love life, family life, everything that goes on in
your life on social media is dangerous.
“First, it brings unnecessary attention, people tend to get jealous and
the evil ones start finding out stuff about your relationships and mess
them up,” she told Showbiz.
Ella Mensah added that the most dangerous practice is when unmarried
female celebs keep displaying their men anytime they are in a
relationship.
“I wouldn’t display my man on social media for anything. Most of my
colleagues are always on social media explaining issues as to what led
to their relationships crashing,” she said.
Ella stated that “most people are not happy in this life and will do
anything just to make you miserable too. Making such people see how
happy and blessed you are is dangerous because they will wish evil for
you. Another thing is that, not everyone deserves to know the real you
so it’s not advisable to show everything.”
To Ella, such celebrities end up putting pressure on themselves just to
keep their fanbase. “I know of some celebrities who live fake lives to
please their fans. It’s really not necessary because you cannot keep up
forever,” she said.
Ella Mensah has starred in movies like Bed Of Roses, I’m About To Wed,
Playboy, Pretty Queen, Shakira and Deadline and she wishes government
would invest more in the entertainment sector.
“I really feel it is time the government takes a second look at our
industry and push a lot of money into it just like the Nigerians and
other countries have done,” she added.
