Veteran Ghanaian presenter Andy Dosty is at the centre of a social media storm after footage of him making inappropriate comments and gestures towards colleague Tima Kumkum surfaced online. The clip, filmed on what appears to be a Joy Prime studio set in Accra, captured an animated exchange between the two presenters that has divided social media. The video began circulating online on Monday, 6 October 2026, and has drawn sharp criticism from viewers.
The footage shows the two presenters in a lively, playful exchange inside a green-lit studio space complete with bar stools and colourful digital screens. What started as an animated back-and-forth built into laughter and spontaneous dancing, but it was Andy Dosty's conduct during the exchange that has drawn sharp criticism from viewers who say his behaviour and comments, deemed sexual by many, towards Tima Kumkum crossed a clear line.
Andy Dosty's conduct has been described as deeply unprofessional given the workplace setting. Critics pointed to what they characterised as Tima Kumkum appearing uncomfortable and disinterested, yet Dosty allegedly persisting regardless. The fact that the incident was captured on camera and aired on a platform like Joy Prime has only intensified the backlash, with audiences questioning what it says about standards within Ghanaian media.
Viewers have taken to social media to express their outrage, with many describing the veteran broadcaster's actions as highly unethical and unprofessional. Some have called for Multimedia Group's HR department to take action against Andy Dosty. According to @info_wowiase, "Highly unethical and unprofessional, but it's the sort of country we live in. In a country where systems work, he would have resigned after an apology and would have probably been cancelled."
Tima Kumkum recently announced her separation from her second husband, Dominic Duodu, after three years of marriage. She has spoken publicly about her experiences, including at the 2026 Be Inspired by Tima Women’s Conference, where she urged women not to let their past define their future. Her appearance at the conference and her recent separation have sparked a wave of support from fans and colleagues.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about workplace conduct and standards in Ghanaian media. Many have expressed concern that such behaviour is tolerated or ignored, and that more needs to be done to create a safe and respectful work environment. According to @Rev_soglo, "So unprofessional: yes, it may have been a joke, but this is a no-no. You can do this in your home, but not in an office setting."
Andy Dosty has not publicly commented on the incident, but his actions have sparked a significant backlash on social media. The incident is currently under investigation, and it remains to be seen what action will be taken by Multimedia Group's HR department. The incident has highlighted the need for greater accountability and professionalism in Ghanaian media.
