A Ghanaian TikToker known as Cutie Juliet alleges veteran actress Portia Asare Boateng systematically bullied her out of Kumawood’s film industry.
In a viral video, she recounted joining the Actors Guild in the early 2000s after high school, introduced by veteran Gloria Agyeman.
“Everyone welcomed me warmly—Nana Ama McBrown, Mr. Afrane—except Portia,” she claimed. “Anytime she saw me, she’d intimidate me. I was the youngest, yet she bullied me like a senior targeting a Form One student.”
The treatment, she says, forced her to abandon acting. Years later, she faced Asare again while starting a radio newscasting job. “On my first day, I saw her there. Remembering her past behavior, I quit immediately.” Juliet added she was too young then to grasp industry competition dynamics.
Her story has ignited discussions about power imbalances in Ghana’s entertainment scene.
