'My movie director slapped me twice on set but I continued working' – Nana Ama McBrown

Ghanaian actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown has revealed that she was once physically assaulted by a film director during the early years of her acting career.

Speaking in an interview with Anita Akuffo on TV3 on July 20, 2026, McBrown said she was slapped twice on a movie set but decided to continue working because she was determined to succeed in the industry.

According to her, the incident was one of the many sacrifices and challenges she had to endure while building her career.

“Some people can't stand pressure, but in this line of work, there's a lot of pressure. Our director slapped me twice on set, and I continued working. He shouted at some people, and they never returned to the set again, but I stayed after taking the slap. I knew I wanted to be there, so nothing stopped me,” she said.
