Delay hits back at critics for defamation

Delay, as she is affectionately called says she feel she is “too hard” for such people to confront.

 

Delores Frimpong Manso, a popular entertainer and rising entrepreneur, says cowards use different pseudonyms and hide behind social media to insult her.

Delay, as she is affectionately called says she feels she is “too hard” for such people to confront.

The host of the ‘Delay Talk Show’ says despite backlashes from different quarters, she has no regrets over her style of questions on the show.

“Many people hide behind social media to insult me and call me an evil person because of my style. I even suspect some of those insults are stage-managed by people using different pseudonyms. These are people who can’t stand my style, people who can’t see a woman host her own show for seven years and continue to remain in top rating, people who want to see me fall, and people who know I am not evil as they want to paint me publicly. But perhaps because I am too hard for them to confront me in person, they hide behind social media to attack me. That’s cowardice,” Delores aka Delay told NEWS-ONE.She added that her show seeks to ask the hard questions to get the uncensored truth.

“I remember when Wanlov Kubolor appeared on the show and I asked him whether it was true he does not wear underwear, most of the people who insulted me and called me evil did not watch the show but only heard Kubolor had showed his sex organ on my show. It never happened. We did the professional thing of censoring that part before it was aired, but the insults came at me for asking the question. I did not point a gun at the head of the male adult to show whatever he showed; why should I be the one who gets called evil for asking such a question?“Recently, Akua Donkor was on the show and it was a tough interview which got her to speak from her heart. When she said things that were clearly not true, I pointed it out and this irritated her. It was a good show which I was expecting to be congratulated for, but all I got were insults and the usual ‘evil’ tag,” the popular radio and television personality explained.She urged her colleague to “be bold enough to ask all the tough and hard questions without fear or favour once it is done with respect and within the confines of the law.”Adding: “We are not dumb people just going on radio or TV to ask questions. Most of the time the questions are well researched by your production team and we know what answers you are likely to give. It would be silly for you to host a show and ask someone a question and the person gives you a false answer and you fail to point it out to the person that the facts and reality on the ground differ.”
