Somizi Mhlongo recently expressed his frustration with TikToker Tamara, who has gained attention for her controversial and often harsh statements towards women.
According to Somizi, he was initially puzzled by Tamara’s apparent anger towards women and her tendency to belittle them.
He pointed out that while Tamara sometimes shared valuable advice, her delivery was problematic.
Somizi emphasized the importance of tone, explaining that it wasn’t always what Tamara said, but how she said it that caused issues.
He compared her to other public figures, like Julius Malema, who often speak the truth but struggle with the delivery of their message.
Somizi also took issue with Tamara’s views on women’s worth, specifically her claim that having children or past relationships diminishes a woman’s value.
He argued that this perspective was not only harmful but also failed to consider the role of men in relationships.
Somizi highlighted the need to advise men on how to treat women with respect, instead of blaming women for their circumstances.
He also criticized Tamara for focusing on the idea that women should be “perfect” in men’s eyes, suggesting that relationships should be built on mutual respect and genuine intentions.
The controversy surrounding Tamara escalated when her old TikTok videos were discovered, revealing a stark contrast between her earlier views and her current behavior.
She had previously made derogatory comments about women, particularly those with children, claiming that they lose value once they become mothers.
However, the discovery of her past statements, coupled with a video showing her with a Pakistani man, led people to question her credibility.
Tamara’s old content was seen as hypocritical, and her account was quickly exposed.
As the internet never forgets, the backlash against Tamara grew as more people unearthed her past statements.
She became the subject of widespread criticism, and her social media presence became quieter over the past few days, as she refrained from posting new content.
Somizi, in his response, pointed out that Tamara seemed to be seeking validation from men, which contradicted her earlier claims about women’s self-worth.
Despite the intense backlash, Somizi expressed hope that Tamara would take the time to reflect and learn from her mistakes.
In the end, the situation serves as a reminder that actions on social media have long-lasting consequences, and the importance of being mindful of how one’s words and behavior are perceived.
