Ekow Smith Asante, INSET:  Joyce Dzidzor 
Ghanaian actor Ekow Smith Asante has waded into the controversy surrounding the recent confession made by Joyce Dzidzor Mensah, the AIDS Ambassador who said she had never tested positive for HIV but was only telling the nation and the world a lie about her HIV status just to satisfy her interests.

In an effort to help advance the anti-HIV campaign Joyce had embarked on, Ekwo and a couple of other actors including John Dumelo and Vicky Zugah starred in a movie, 'My Cross Roads', which supposedly narrated Joyce's life story and ordeal of having to live as an HIV/AIDS patient.

In the wake of Joyce's confession, Ekow Smith Asante has told Joyonline he acted in the movie without charging commercial rates and therefore feels cheated.

'As a Christian I will forgive her if she lied to me. As an actor I feel cheated if she lied to me. As a friend she will lose my confidence in her if she lied to me,' Ekwo stated.

The actor explained that he did not charge for the movie but only took a little amount of money for fuel because he was acting on humanitarian grounds.

But Joyce has however refuted the claim and insisted every single person was fully paid for the role he or she played in her movie.

She denied ever taking advantage of any actor to enrich herself and said she may even come out with another movie to talk about her current situation.

'I borrowed money, I took loans from banks to do the movie so when I was showing the movies around the monies that I was able to gather was what I used to pay off my debt; and even when I gave the movie to a marketer what I got was something small,' she revealed.
