Veteran actress Grace Omaboe, popularly known as Maame Dokono has given a detailed account of her relationship with colleague actor, David Dontoh.
According to her, their love affair lasted for about fifteen (15) years.
She said on TV XYZ that their affair started on the set of 1990s popular local drama ‘Obra’.
“What happened was at the time of Akan Drama, I was single, I was about forty years old. My first marriage had hit the rocks. I needed someone to protect me as a woman. Men were chasing me. When we go on tour in Kumasi, they stood on story-buildings to adore me. Women also liked me.
“I thought here was Ghana Man [David Dontoh] he really likes me. When we started the series he couldn’t touch me. He was always shaking when he’s to touch me in the movie,” she narrated.
Maame Dokono revealed that David Dontoh hid it from her when he planned to walk down the aisle with another woman.
“I dated Ghana Man until he married. Before the marriage they kept their relationship secret from me. He was scared I could have dealt with them.”
The actress disclosed that her unwillingness to give birth again separated them.
“The relationship lasted for almost fifteen years. I dated him for quite 15 years. He protected me at that time I decided not to marry again. I had given birth to four children and Ghana Man had no child, I felt I wouldn’t give birth again. I dated him until he met his wife, then, I let him go. When I left him I wasn’t ready to marry again then a man from France came into my life.”
