“Hot Fork” Girl Boycotts Movie Set

In an interview with Socrate, he also confirmed the incident but claimed it was just a minor injury. “Something like that happened but it was a small accident. There is a scene they were supposed to dance salsa. Kobby Rana the director was teaching them a few steps and Baby Blanch accidentally slipped off and twisted her leg.

Asked whether Baby Blanch insisted on an insurance policy before she continues shooting, Socrate said he heard some members of the crew saying something like that.

“But if Baby Blanch is saying I should insure her before she can dance in a movie then I think she is over stretching the issue. What is so risky about the production, for her to demand insurance? If you, a lady are not flexible enough to twist and turn your waist and Kobby Rana who is a guy is able to turn his waist, and you Baby, twisted your leg, why should this be my problem as the producer, for you to tell me that I should insure you before you will continue the production? That doesn’t mean the producer should not insure actors and actresses because it is good to insure your cast and crew, but sometimes when we over stretch issues like this, it becomes a problem,”, Socrate explained.

Socrate also emphasized that there was no reason why this same actress should start asking for insurance now when he shot several movies with her in the past and she never asked for insurance. “When we started using her as a new actress she never asked for insurance but today she is asking for insurance because of a simple dance, and you want to put my whole production in jeopardy? No! I will not allow that to happen”.

About reports of Baby Blanch shaving her pubic hair, Socrate said it is a very important part of the movie and it has deeper meaning than what is being projected.

He explained that per the script there was some sort of transformation which necessitated “Adoley”, played by Baby Blanch, to shave every hair on the body including her pubic hair.

“Shaving is part of the scene, it is symbolic and it has deeper meaning to the story. If you don’t have any deeper understanding of things like that, you will never understand,” he said.

Asked how he intends resolving their differences in order to proceed with the shooting, Socrate said Baby Blanch was aware of what her role entails before she agreed and signed a contract so will have to complete the movie “by all means”.

For now, production is on hold.

The said movie is titled “What Sex Can Do” and it features popular actress Kalsoum Sinare, vintage actor J.O.T. Agyeman, George Yaw Kyere, Baby Blanch among others. Socrate is known for his controversial movie titles such as: “God is Wicked”, “Jezeebel”, “Satan’s Wife”, “Hot Fork”, “Love and Sex”, “Rhapsody of Love” among others.
