Speaking on a wide range of issues on Adom FM’s Work and Happiness mid-morning show, the former legislator disclosed that she has been married twice, following a difficult first marriage that ended in divorce.
In her view, her earlier marriage was particularly painful because her former partner remarried before their divorce was finalized, an act she described as bigamy.
She said the experience left lasting emotional scars and shaped her current views on marriage and public exposure.
“Yes, I am married. I have remarried after my earlier divorce. I have been married twice,” she stated during the interview.
Appoh also confirmed that her current husband is not a politician but a private individual, a decision she said was deliberate given her past experiences in public life.
While acknowledging that social media has both positive and negative sides, Appoh noted that public reactions to personal posts can be damaging, especially for public figures.
She explained that the impact of social media often depends on how people choose to interpret and react to what is shared, adding that negative commentary and scrutiny can take a serious toll on individuals and families.
