Management of the Despite Media Group, parent company of United Television (UTV), have apologized to Joselyn Dumas over the media storm kicked up Friday over a promo released by the company.
The promo was to promote the upcoming episode of ‘Atuu’, in which Dumas had an interview with Abeiku Santana.
Abeiku asked her about John Dumelo and the video was then edited to make it seem she admitted to having had a two year affair with Dumelo when she in fact said exactly the opposite.
That enraged the actress who angrily demanded an apology and retraction which has now been rendered by the station.
In a statement, management of Despite Media apologize to Dumas and claimed they meant no malice with the publication as the ‘Atuu’ program is meant to “celebrate achievers in the entertainment industry.”
