Edith Ward, the ex-wife of popular Ghanaian UK-based musician Reggie Zippy, has clapped back strongly at outspoken entertainment critic Sally Mann over recent comments the latter made about her.
In a post shared on her Facebook wall, Edith Ward did not mince words as she addressed what she described as unsolicited and disrespectful opinions from Sally Mann concerning her personal life and her past marriage to the musician.
According to Edith Ward, Sally Mann’s constant commentary on her situation is both unnecessary and hypocritical. She accused the entertainment pundit of capitalizing on other people’s pain for cheap attention and social media relevance.
“Some of you loudmouths need to look in the mirror before you go around disrespecting people you don’t even know, your personal life is in shambles, yet you find joy speaking on others as if your own house is in order.” Edith Ward wrote as part of her post.
Reggie’s ex-wife further questioned why a grown woman like Sally Mann would dedicate so much energy to dragging another woman through the mud over matters she has no full knowledge of.

“To Sally Mann,
It’s become painfully clear that you’ve been starved of my attention and now you have it.
When I was first sent your video last October, I laughed. Just another stranger using my name to stay relevant. I was asked if I knew you, and my response was clear: NO. I had no idea who you were.
Later, someone pointed out that you were the same “humble” Sally I briefly met in GH at the funeral in 2021. The woman I treated with kindness even after she assaulted another woman in her car in front of me and others. Even then, I chose grace and brushed it off. It was sad to see a stranger, someone I had only shown kindness to feel bold enough to speak ill of me on national television.
But here we are again. Fast forward to the present, and once more, you’re invoking my name, chasing attention, and spreading falsehoods on whatever platform you’re clinging to. And while I’ve remained quiet and classy, please don’t mistake that for STUPID.
I have been defamed, abused, and publicly ridiculed for far too long. It ends now.
Let’s address your lies:
1- You said my mother and father disowned me. FALSE!Whoever told you that lied. If you knew anything about me or my family, you’d know the truth: I wasn’t disowned. I made a conscious decision to take accountability for my life. Also, my father wasn’t even present in my life, so next time do your homework properly.
2 – You claimed my ex-husband gave me a place to sleep. FALSE! In Italy? From Ghana? Please. Again, do your homework. I sponsored his move to the UK. I was the one pushing his music, standing by his side, and working tirelessly for 15 years. Years you were clearly not part of hence you don’t know.
3 – You said we talk often and that I confided in you. When? Where? How? FALSE!! Show the receipts. Anyone using my name needs to back it up with facts, not fiction. This lazy narrative you’ve crafted is not only shameful but it’s dangerous.
To sit on national television as a woman, possibly a mother, and so confidently spread lies about another woman is disgraceful. And I pray that whatever emptiness inside you that drives this behavior is healed one day. May God fill that void so you no longer feel the need to tear others down just to be seen.
If dragging my name helped you sleep at night or put food on your table, I sincerely hope it was worth it.
From here on, I demand that my name be kept out of your mouth unless you are prepared to speak truthfully WITH EVIDENCE.
I’ve endured enough. And now, the record is straight.
PS: If anyone knows her socials or her personally then pass this msg on my kind behalf. Thank You 🙏”
This whole back-and-forth was triggered after Sally Mann recently commented on Edith Ward marriage and other issues during a discussion on radio. Sally is reported to have suggested that Edith had failed in her marriage and implied that she should stop playing victim online.
