Charly Boy battles former PA, Helen Sosu

Charly Boy put out a disclaimer which ran for two weeks in major softsell magazines stating that his longest serving personal assistant, Helen Sosu, and two others were no longer staff of his New Wave production, for reasons he never made public. You all know how disclaimers go, with pictures and all.

Now Helen is mad and wants to drag the weird one to court for defamation of character. More after the cut...


Helen Sosu, who is an English graduate of University of Lagos started out by featuring as Miss Fowl Leg in the now rested The Charly Boy Show, then rose to become his marteter and presenter and even wrote a book on Charly Boy a few years back.

Now she wants to drag him to court for 'tarnishing my image because he sees me as a competitor'.
In a letter of acknowledgement, the law firm representing her, Lagos Eculaw Law, said:
Charly Boy, the self-acknowledged owner of the so called Charly Boy brand has violated Ms Sosu's fundamental rights repeatedly and in several ways and has subjected her to relentless abuse, harassment, intimidation, defamation, false light and actionable adverse portrayals and has continued to do same even at this moment. Charly Boy's behaviour is a reckless and unprecedented display of raw power and influence in the Nigerian entertainment industry in recent times. His behaviour, motives and methods are unlawful and egregious and he has to be stopped.

Charly Boy is yet to react. The battle continues...

I don’t think there is a friction. Tell me what’s wrong if your company loses confidence in you and issues a disclaimer on you? A disclaimer is only a public notice, telling the public that somebody is no longer a staff of a particular company or an organization just in case of impersonation that may tarnish company image and for the sake of indemnity. Why most companies don’t put up disclaimer on their ex-staff is due to some level of trust and understanding; and when such trust and understanding is betrayed; then one will have to opt for the only available option from a more legal angle. That exactly is the situation. However, some people have decided to make a non existing mountain out of a mole hill, and it doesn’t really speak well of them. If Helen had known the legal implication of impersonation, she wouldn’t be making so much noise about this disclaimer. What she actually did, was criminal. She took advantage of the brand that took her from the streets of Lagos, from an oblique presence in Nollywood, which was her highest claim to fame at the time that she met CB. This isn’t the issue because charlyboy always gives room for growth, and as we all know, he made several of the big names in the Nigeria Showbiz, who all started from the Charlyboy show.

@ New Waves Production. I think that is the dumbest and lamest excuse you can come up with to try to tarnish a young girl's image. Doesn't Charly Boy have a reputation of trying to pin a criminal record on any youth that has been very useful to him but decides to leave him? Is he not known to cheat a lot of people who do dealings with him? who is fooling who? please get your acts right and stop playing all these dirty games. You want to ruin a reputation of a young and promising Nigerian who has selflessly served your company and Charly Boy for that matter over 10 years. I wish Helen would come out and just expose area boy's dirty ass. And he calls himself someone who fight for the youths, which youths?
