An alleged “media release” currently circulating on social media and WhatsApp claims that the Winner of the just ended Ghana’s Next Super Model, Grace Ama Mensimah Amponsah run away from Paris after arriving at the Charles de Gaulle Airport with her manager.

It is very disturbing to note that my former management, Sparkzuta International Modeling Agency created this content to defame me rather than to publicly promote my talent as a young model.

In this regard, I am pleading with the general public both in and outside the country to kindly debunk any news regarding this issue as it is only meant to damage a good reputation.

I also wish to make known to all modeling agencies that I am ready to be contacted for any sign up. Kindly get in touch with me on social media via Instagram @amamensimah_amponsah.
