He Demeaned My Unique Brand – Gloria Sarfo Takes On Counsellor Lutterodt

Ghanaian actress Gloria Sarfo has publicly expressed her disappointment with Counsellor George Lutterodt and media personality George Quaye following remarks she deemed derogatory to her brand.

The controversy began after Sarfo’s comments comparing the struggling Ghanaian movie industry to the thriving Nigerian film industry, which she shared on social media after a recent trip to Nigeria.

During an interview on Neat FM’s Entertainment program with host Ola Michael on Monday, July 21, 2025, Sarfo addressed the issue head-on, accusing Lutterodt and Quaye of undermining her credibility on UTV’s ‘United Showbiz’.

The dispute stems from Sarfo’s earlier social media post, where she praised the growth and professionalism of Nigeria’s Nollywood industry, contrasting it with the challenges facing Ghana’s film sector.

In response, Counsellor Lutterodt and George Quaye reportedly suggested that Sarfo’s comments were motivated by an obsession with traveling abroad to shoot movies, particularly her excitement over “sitting in a plane” for such projects.

These remarks, according to Sarfo, were not only dismissive but also damaging to her reputation as an actress and advocate for the Ghanaian creative industry.

Speaking on Neat FM, Sarfo did not hold back, describing the comments as hypocritical and unprofessional.

“I’m disappointed in Counsellor Lutterodt and George Quaye. They demeaned my brand by insinuating that I’m just chasing clout or obsessed with traveling for movie roles,” she said. “I was only stating facts about the state of our industry compared to Nigeria’s, and instead of addressing the real issues, they chose to attack me personally.”

She further called out what she perceives as hypocrisy within the Ghanaian film industry, urging stakeholders to stop pretending that “everything is fine” while the sector struggles.

The actress also addressed broader issues within the Ghanaian film industry, accusing some stakeholders of perpetuating a culture of hypocrisy.

“The movie industry is full of hypocrites. We need to stop pretending and address the real problems if we want to grow.”

Sarfo’s comments resonate with ongoing debates about the decline of Ghana’s once-vibrant film industry, which has faced challenges such as limited funding, lack of infrastructure, and competition from international markets like Nollywood.

Gloria sarfo amplified her comments, saying, “Let’s all pretend the movie industry is fine and cry in private,” a sarcastic jab at those who downplay the industry’s struggles. The online community has largely supported Sarfo, with many praising her for speaking out against the status quo and calling for accountability.

This incident is not the first time Sarfo has been vocal about the state of Ghana’s creative industry. Known for her outspoken nature, she has consistently advocated for better opportunities and recognition for Ghanaian actors and filmmakers.

Her comparison to Nollywood, however, appears to have struck a nerve, prompting criticism from figures like Lutterodt and Quaye, who are also prominent voices in Ghana’s entertainment space.

As the debate continues, Sarfo’s remarks have reignited discussions about the need for reform in Ghana’s film industry. While some defend Lutterodt and Quaye, arguing that their comments were taken out of context, others believe Sarfo’s critique is a necessary wake-up call for an industry in need of revitalization.

Neither Counsellor Lutterodt nor George Quaye has publicly responded to Sarfo’s latest statements as of the time of this report.
