Veteran Actor Paa George Expresses Disappointment in Emelia Brobbey Over Lack of Support
Veteran Ghanaian actor Paa George has openly voiced his disappointment in actress Emelia Brobbey, accusing her of avoiding him during a challenging period in his life despite the guidance and support he says he once gave her early in her career.
In a candid interview on Max FM on Wednesday, the respected actor explained that Brobbey was one of the people he helped when she was breaking into the movie industry. He described her recent silence as painful and unexpected.
“One of the people I helped in the movie industry is Emelia Brobbey,” Paa George said. “But in my difficult times, she has avoided me. I have tried several times to call her, but she does not answer or return my calls.”
He emphasised the personal hurt, noting that he had mentored her and expected more care and concern in return.
“As someone I helped and mentored, I did not expect this behaviour,” he added. “Instead of showing love after I am gone, I believe she should help me while I am still alive.”
The comments have sparked conversation within Ghana’s entertainment circles, where mentorship and mutual support among actors have long been valued. Paa George’s remarks reflect the emotional weight many older industry figures place on reciprocity from those they guided.
Emelia Brobbey has not made any public response to the claims as of the time of this report. Industry observers say the situation highlights the complex dynamics that can develop between mentors and protégés over time, especially when personal challenges arise.
Paa George, known for his long and influential career in Ghanaian film and television, has faced health and financial difficulties in recent years. His call for support from those he once assisted has touched a chord with many who follow the local entertainment scene.
The matter remains personal for now, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of gratitude and solidarity in the creative industry, where careers often depend on the kindness and networks built over decades.
