The Messy Scandal That Threatened Van Vicker’s Marriage
Van Vicker has enjoyed a really great marriage since he tied the knot with his wife. However, it has not been all rosy since day one as the actor has had to battle a very messy scandal that threatened to tear his marriage apart.
In 2016, fans of the movie star were shocked when he was accused of sleeping with his manager, Clarice Ford-Kulah. It was even more shocking because the accusation was made by the manager’s husband Bartum Kulah. In his accusation, Bartum Kulah said Van Vicker was having an affair with his wife and that he had even caught them in the act twice at a hotel.
Bartum Kulah claimed that his wife was disguising as Van Vicker’s manager and business partner to engage him in the ungodly act of adultery. He also claimed that the actor has traveled to different cities around the world to have an affair with his wife. He then sensationally claimed that he has evidence to back up his allegations.
The allegations went viral and for some time, Van Vicker’s name was on every lip. Fans were divided on whether or not to believe the accusations as shock waves spread over the matter.
What Clarice Ford-Kulah Had To Say
Shortly after the cheating accusations were made, Van Vicker’s manager, Clarice Ford-Kulah came out to speak on the matter. She released a strong statement refuting the accusations and declaring that her husband was wrong about his claims. According to her, she and Van Vicker have always maintained a professional relationship and have never thought of engaging in such an unholy union.
She claimed that her husband has insecurity issues because of an accident he had and has been harassing all her male friends, including ministers, deacons, and pastors for years. She said her husband has no evidence as he claimed and that Vicker is her friend and ‘family’. She then urged the public to disregard all the allegations her husband made.
Van Vicker’s Reaction
It was not only Clarice Ford-Kulah who had to react to the grievous allegations of cheating made by her husband; Van Vicker also had something to say. The actor reacted to the development days after the allegations during an interview he had with HitzFM. As expected, he flatly denied the allegation and called it ‘nonsense’.
The actor claimed that he and Clarice Ford-Kulah were business partners who had worked together for years, partnering on a number of projects, including movies and other things. He also revealed that he and Clarice had become more like family because she knows everyone in his family, including his wife, mum, sister, and others.
Reacting to the claims that Clarice’s husband had proof of him cheating with his wife, Vicker claimed that this was a lie and that there can never be a photo or video of him being in a compromising position with Clarice Ford-Kulah.
Van Vicker’s reaction was met with mixed reactions as some people believed him while others waited for Clarice Ford-Kulah’s husband to release the evidence that he claimed he had. The scandal lingered for some time.
How It All Ended
The Van Vicker cheating scandal lasted for some time. However, everything became clear when Bartum Kulah, the man who started the storm by making the allegations, came out to retract his claims. In a sensational post he made on Facebook, Bartum Kulah apologized to Van Vicker and his wife.
He explained that he was overcome by jealousy and totally misunderstood the professional relationship between his wife and the actor to be an immoral one. He confessed that his allegations were not true and regretted the inconvenience the false accusations had caused the parties involved. He then asked for forgiveness from his wife and Van Vicker. Bartum Kulah’s Facebook statement put to rest the huge storm that was generated by the dramatic allegations of cheating against Van Vicker.
It is noteworthy that Van Vicker has been romantically linked to different actresses, including fellow Ghanaian star, Nadia Buari in the past. However, the actor has sworn that he has never been with anyone else apart from his wife and that he will never have anything to do with anyone else romantically until death.
