Wendy Shay Takes Legal Action Over Viral Lesbian Claims
Ghanaian superstar Wendy Shay has officially gone to the police to counter what she describes as false, hurtful allegations that have been circulating online. The singer has lodged a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service after a video went viral, accusing her of being in a lesbian relationship with Tracy Shay, a teenage girl the artist reportedly “adopted” (or took under her care) after Tracy gained attention dancing to one of Wendy Shay’s songs. 
Wendy has strongly denied all of these claims. She calls them “insulting and baseless,” adding that the video appears to have been made with “malicious intent.” 
After the video went viral, Wendy Shay made a public plea: she invited anyone who could help identify the man behind the accusations to come forward. To encourage cooperation, she even offered a GHS 5,000 reward to anyone who could help catch him. 
On November 19, 2025, she released a formal statement confirming she has filed a police report. According to her, investigations are already in motion.  She said that the individual linked to these claims has been traced to the United Arab Emirates, where he is allegedly working for a construction company. 
In her statement, Wendy expressed confidence in the justice system and pledged full cooperation with the Ghana Police Service. She also used the opportunity to make a broader appeal: to rally Ghanaians against cyberbullying, online harassment, and unverified, damaging attacks on individuals.
Wendy Shay is a high-profile artist, and these are serious accusations. If left unchallenged, they could harm her reputation, her career, and her public image. By going to the police, she’s not just defending herself — she’s making a statement that online defamation has real-world consequences.
2. Cyberbullying & Online Accountability
Her case highlights how social media can become a tool for spreading misinformation. Wendy is calling for accountability — not just for the person making the false claims, but for how society treats online harassment in general.
3. LGBTQ+ Context in Ghana
While Wendy’s allegations are being strongly denied, the broader context is important. Ghana’s legal and social landscape for LGBTQ+ issues is complicated and often hostile. Reports from human-rights groups document systemic discrimination, harassment, and violence against LGBTQ+ persons in Ghana.
By framing the claims as “defamatory” rather than a legitimate coming-out scenario, Wendy is navigating a very sensitive cultural terrain. Whether or not there is any truth to the accusations, the backlash and the conversation will likely touch on deeply rooted taboos around same-sex relationships in Ghanaian society.
4. Cross-Border Element
The alleged accuser is not even in Ghana — he’s reportedly in the UAE. That adds a layer of complexity: how will Ghanaian authorities pursue someone abroad? Which legal channels will be used? It’s an international dimension that makes this more than just a local entertainment scandal.
• She described the video as very hurtful.
• She denies all of the sexual claims, calling them “completely untrue.”
• She affirms she’s cooperating fully with the police.
• She is urging the public not to support online harassment, cyberbullying, or defamation.
What’s Next
• Investigation: The Ghana Police Service has reportedly started an active investigation. 
• Accountability: Wendy says she’s taking “further steps through the appropriate channels” to make sure whoever is behind the video is held responsible. 
• Public Conversation: This incident could spark a broader discussion in Ghana around online defamation, safeguarding young people (like Tracy), and how society treats LGBTQ+ accusations — especially when they’re weaponized in smear campaigns.
Wendy Shay’s decision to go to the police over these allegations is a strong move. She’s not letting the narrative be controlled by what she calls “malicious attackers.” Instead, she’s actively defending her reputation and demanding accountability — not just for herself, but for the principle that online slander shouldn’t go unchecked.
At the same time, this controversy opens up deeper questions about how Ghanaian society deals with sexuality, reputation, and digital abuse. Whether the story ends in a legal resolution or not, it’s likely to leave a mark — and perhaps push for more serious conversations about cyberbullying, defamation, and the treatment of LGBTQ+ issues in the public eye.
