Tinsel: Chris Attoh leaves, Gbenro Ajibade allegedly suspended

Popular M-Net-produced series
Tinsel has suffered a setback
as one of her main actors Chris
Attoh who plays 'Kwame
Mensah' suddenly announced
he is leaving the series to
pursue other career interests.
Chris dropped the bombshell
via a statement through a
South Africa based
management, Waka Talent.
'The last seven years on Tinsel
have been an incredible
journey and experience for me.
Working with M-Net was
phenomenal and it took a lot of
deliberation but I have decided
to pursue other career
interests', he said.
Chris leaves almost a year
after another strong face on
the show Damilola Adegbite
who played 'Telema Duke'
announced she too was leaving
to pursue other career
interests.

Meanwhile, another popular
face at Tinsel Gbenro Ajibade
has been reportedly suspended
from the show. Information
made available point that
Ajibade may have been
suspended because he failed to
show up for long sequence of
shoots involving his character
'Soji Bankole.'
If this suspension is true then
Gbenro may be facing
disciplinary action for being
away from set after traveling
to the US for the just concluded
one week long Africa Fashion
show held in New York where
he pranced the runway as a
model.
There are already concerns the
loss of these two actors plus
other popular faces that has
left the series may further
affect ratings.
Efforts to reach Gbenro and
other parties involved for
reactions has so far not been
successful.
