A shady side to the entertainment industry

By Oguine Daniel

The shady side of the entertainment industry has been discussed, speculated, and debated on for ages now. Many artists and investigators over time have had shady things to say about the industry, which of course has been put off as hearsays and conspiracy theories.

Two  months ago, Former  Ghanaian  Actress, Singer and Model  Joy Edjeren was interviewed  by  Vihan Damaris a singer/songwriter and Youtuber  about a book she published in 2022 titled “The Death And Life Of JJ Bunny.”

It’s a book on the dark side of the entertainment industry which she experienced and was a part of.

The unique factor about what Joy Edjeren had to say about the industry is that it shows the relationship between the hearsays, conspiracy theories and seemingly coincidental but weird events that have been known to take place in the entertainment industry and then makes meaning of them.

In the account of her experiences during her time and reign in the entertainment industry to Damaris, Edjeren said a lot of interesting things and one of them was that; at some point while in the industry she discovered that the movies she starred in were first taken to the shrine and offered to idols before they were released to make sure that they did well on the market.

She alleged that on her first big movie she was raped by the producer before given the role and that on the set of that movie, not to get too graphic, but there was so much sexual tension there that she was certain it was beyond the ordinary.

People would excuse themselves to engage in sexual intercourse indiscreetly and not far from the set. She stressed that when such movies were released to the audience, they would have no idea what went on, on the set of the movie, nevertheless she believed it would have an effect on its viewers, an effect similar to what the cast and crew members experienced on set.

According to her, the more lewd she became, the higher she rose in the industry.  That was until one faithful occasion when after completing a project, she moved to the US where she fell extremely ill to the point of death.

It was in this condition that Edjeren believes she received a revelation from God; showing her that she was being used as a sacrifice for the successful outcome of the movie she had just completed.  She was eventually prayed for by a believing sibling in her family, got saved and healed by God.

A conspiracy theorist would see a connection between the account she gave of herself being an intended human sacrifice and the death of Heath Ledger a brilliant actor in Hollywood who committed suicide right after staring in arguably one of the best movies ever created.  A movie that ranks number two on the web list of best movies made.

A conspiracy theorist would see a pattern in her account of rape and the scandal that shook the Hollywood movie industry  when a myriad of made and  successful actresses like Angelina Jolie, Asley Judd, Lea Seadoux, Kate Beckinsale, Cara Delevingne  and many more came out to say that renown Producer  Harvey Weinstien  had molested them sexually.

A conspiracy theorist would see the connections and patterns between her account and the many scandalous events that have been linked to the entertainment industry. But thank God we are not conspiracy theorists.
