According to Ghanacelebrities.Actress Xandy Kamel has come under heavy criticism from social media users after publicly defending Prophet Ogyaba, the embattled man of God who has been accused of having an affair with a church member. Kamel, in an interview, suggested that people should not judge the prophet for his personal failings, particularly regarding the alleged infidelity.
During the interview, Kamel argued that while Prophet Ogyaba’s actions were certainly questionable, it was important not to overlook his overall character and spiritual standing. She claimed that all men cheat, and therefore, Ogyaba’s behavior could be excused as a mere weakness for women. Kamel went on to assert that the prophet could still remain a credible man of God despite his personal shortcomings, as his gifts and calling should not be overshadowed by his human flaws.
“Men of God are still men,” she emphasized, defending the prophet’s actions while maintaining that his personal indiscretions should not define his spiritual authority.
However, Kamel’s comments sparked outrage across social media platforms, with many users accusing her of hypocrisy, particularly in light of her past public rants about her own experience with infidelity. The actress had previously made headlines when she left her ex-husband after allegations of cheating, and many found her defense of Prophet Ogyaba to be contradictory.
One netizen criticized Kamel, saying, “Sorry to say this but you left your ex-husband for the same reason, yet you’re here defending your so-called favorite pastor. If it’s so easy to forgive, why didn’t you stay?”
The backlash continued to pour in as many users expressed their disbelief over Kamel’s stance, questioning why she would defend the prophet in the face of infidelity when she had previously been vocal about leaving her own marriage due to similar issues.
Kamel’s defense of Prophet Ogyaba has sparked a larger conversation on social media about the expectations and behavior of public figures, particularly those in the religious community. While some may have agreed with her view that men of God are human and capable of making mistakes, the overwhelming sentiment on social media was one of disappointment in the actress’s perceived double standard.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Kamel will address the growing criticism and whether her comments will have any lasting impact on her career and public image.
