Monrovia – Dr. Bartum Kulah, a Liberian residing in the U.S. City of Atlanta, Georgia has expressed regrets for allowing a ‘Private Matter’ regarding his family to get into the public domain.
Dr. Kulah, responding to reports in the Ghanaian media in which he is alleged to have accused Ghallywood/Nollywood actor Joseph Van Vicker of having an affair with his wife, said in a statement sent to FrontPageAfrica: “It’s unfortunate that I’ve allowed my friends and family and fellow Africans to be involved in something that should be a private matter between me and my wife. I did not say he was having “physical and emotional affair”, I said that I believe he is having an affair with my wife. The reason being the two incidents I sited; where I caught them at the hotel twice. Once when she had stayed overnight after being at Queens Night Club, and the second incident when I chased him into the bushes near another hotel. My wife had a perfectly good explanation for both instances. In addition, I don’t believe that she is that type of woman.”
The Ghanaian online GHNNEWS360 quoted Dr. Kulah as suspecting that Van Vicker is having physical and emotional affair with his wife, Clarice Ford-Kulah who claims to be actor Van Vicker’s Manager and Business partner. “My wife will deny the accusations and claim to be Van Vicker’s Manager and Business partner that’s what she always says, it’s all a cover, and I’ve caught them at a hotel twice”, the report quoted Dr. Kulah as saying.
The report went on to quote Dr. Kulah as saying that his wife, Ford-Kulah did not care about the children, but only cares about travelling with van vicker.
“She has been in Accra since Wednesday to Premiere the film Skinned at the Silverbird tonight June 10, 2016 at 7pm and 9pm, they will then go to Liberia to Premiere the same film next Saturday, not only that but sleeping with my wife any where they go premiere movie”.
“This is the second trip in a year. They have traveled to Haiti, Liberia, Nigeria, Ireland and multiple cities in the Continental US” Dr.Bartum Kulaf added. “I really have evidence to show that Van Vicker is sleeping with my wife and even warned my wife on that but still they are doing it”. “It is a shame to Gollywood/Nollywood actor Van Vicker sleeping with people wives as he has married too”.
But Dr. Kulah, in a statement to FrontPageAfrica clarified that he did not say Mr. Vicker was having “physical and emotional affair. “I said that I believe he is having an affair with my wife. The reason being the two incidents I sited; where I caught them at the hotel twice. Once when she had stayed overnight after being at Queens Night Club, and the second incident when I chased him into the bushes near another hotel. My wife had a perfectly good explanation for both instances. In addition, I don’t believe that she is that type of woman. My wife cares dearly for her children.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Kulah’s wife, Clarice Ford-Kulah, has rubbished the allegations as baseless. In a press statement, Ford-Kulah said none of the allegations levelled against her and Van Vicker is true.
According to her, her husband has security issues due to an accident that has completely interrupted his life. “He has been harassing all of my male friends, including pastors, ministers, and deacons for years and I chose to ignore.”
The full statement is below:
In response to the recent rumours trending on the internet concerning Van Vicker and I, none of it is true. Neither Van nor I would do such a thing. We both have families that we love and care about dearly. Van and I have worked together professionally and as a family for over five years and have never encountered such nonsense accusations. My husband has security issues due to an accident that has completely interrupted his life. He has been harassing all of my male friends, including pastors, ministers, and deacons for years and I chose to ignore. However, this accusation is too ridiculous for me to ignore because it is in the public domain. Further, it is my understanding that my husband is going through some type of medical crisis. I will be returning to the US shortly to deal with this situation and would love my family to be left alone whiles dealing with this unfortunate situation privately. I am currently in Liberia attending to business. While here, we will be premiering our film along with another business associate who also flew in with me from the States to attend both the Ghana and Liberia premieres of the movie ‘Skinned’. I assure everyone that there is no evidence of any sort to back up these baseless claims by my husband. Whatever pictures and videos he says he can produce will be of us going in and out of events premises, pickups and drop offs. None of these pics or video will be compromising in any way. Again, I am asking that these rumours be put to rest. Van Vicker is my client and ‘family’.
