Ghanaian socialite and comedienne, Afia Schwarzenegger has initiated legal action against lawyer Maurice Ampaw, citing contempt of court following his recent remarks about her on radio.

However, displeased with Maurice Ampaw’s continued disparaging comments, especially in light of her ongoing defamation lawsuit against him, Afia Schwarzenegger has taken legal action, accusing him of contempt.
According to the writ of summons served by Afia’s legal team, Maurice Ampaw has persistently disrespected and verbally abused her in various media appearances, despite the pending court case. His behavior, as outlined in the writ, is viewed as an affront to the dignity of the court.
Afia seeks justice for what she perceives as gross disrespect and disregard for the court proceedings, urging Maurice Ampaw’s conviction for contempt of court and imprisonment as a deterrent to others.
The feud between Afia Schwarzenegger and Lawyer Maurice Ampaw stems from her legal dispute with Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
