  "summary": "Ghanaian actress Nana Akua Addo has spoken out about viral videos showing a domestic dispute between her and her children. Her lawyers released a statement saying the footage was leaked without her knowledge or consent.\n\nThe videos and photos have raised serious privacy concerns, particularly as some show one of her minor children. Nana Akua Addo has appealed to media houses to refrain from publishing, reproducing or sharing the videos to safeguard her family's privacy and wellbeing.\n\nThe matter is now with the authorities, according to Nana Akua Addo's lawyers, and is currently sub judice. The Ghana Police Service has intervened, and Nana Akua Addo has expressed confidence in the courts' ability to address domestic violence matters.",
