It is very disheartening not to be given the kind of treatment you deserve, but it's worse when it happens to a celebrity. Popular Ghanaian actress, Joselyn Dumas was a victim of such an occurrence according to our sources. And out of frustration, she took to her Twitter handle to express her displeasure with the unspecified hotel on Friday. Though disgruntled Joselyn Dumas mentioned Movenpick Hotel in her tweets mistakenly, she was actually referring to the plush Kempinski Gold Coast hotel where she and her friends were rudely turned away from eating at the executive lounge/restaurant on the 6th floor of located in Accra.
Ace broadcaster ,Kofi Okyere Darko(KOD) was one of her friends who decided to go for a quick grub at the restaurant only for them to to be denied entry into the elevator unless they show their ID card or membership card to the security.
It seems as if for being a celebrity there are no perks for you anymore because the security stated that he knew who Joselyn and KOD were, but he still insisted on seeing a form of identification before he would let them in. And directed them to go and register at the reception first before they would be allowed to enter.
This affirms my earlier submission that it's very disheartening because a brand like Kempinski who is known globally for hosting and pampering celebrities, it was quite a shame that two of Ghana’s most known faces were driven away from their restaurant.
Following reports from our sources, Jackie Appiah and her manager, Samira who were meant to have dinner with Joselyn Dumas and KOD but luckily for them they were allowed to enter.
However, it is not the first time that a known person was turned away from Kempinski in Accra. It happened to Wanlov once as he was driven away from the hotel for not wearing shoes – his signature look!. But in the case of Joselyn and friends she was properly dressed, because she had just come from a funeral. So what might have triggered this to happen to them, is it that Ghanaian celebrities are gradually losing their due respect or its only the fault of Kempinski.
