The family of Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo has strongly refuted and expressed concern over false reports circulating on social media suggesting that she has passed away, urging the public to disregard and stop amplifying such misleading information.
In a statement released through her elder sister, Royal Elorm, the family clarified that recent online narratives concerning the actress’s alleged death and related circumstances are inaccurate and should not be treated as factual. They stressed that the spread of such unverified claims has caused unnecessary distress at a time when sensitivity and responsibility are most needed.
The family appealed to the public to exercise restraint and show respect by avoiding the circulation of rumours, noting that the actress should instead be associated with her legacy, her resilience, and her devotion to her family, rather than unverified stories that distort reality.
They further emphasized that public discourse should be guided by compassion and accuracy, especially when it concerns the well being of public figures, and called for an end to speculation that fuels confusion and emotional harm.
The controversy follows a wave of online posts and tributes that had emerged, prompting clarification from the family to correct what they described as misinformation. The intervention also comes amid heightened concern over how quickly false narratives can spread on digital platforms, often outpacing verified information.
In the broader entertainment space, Ghanaian media personality and musician Choirmaster, who is known to be closely associated with the actress through marriage, has also been referenced in the wave of social media commentary surrounding the rumours, though the family’s statement focused primarily on correcting the misinformation.
Beverly Afaglo, widely recognised for her contributions to Ghana’s film industry, has over the years built a reputation for her energetic screen presence and strong public appeal, earning admiration from audiences across the country.
The family has reiterated its plea for responsible communication, urging bloggers, commentators and the general public to verify information before sharing, and to allow the actress to be respected without distortion from unverified claims.
