Controversies in the entertainment world never cease to amaze, and this time, the story of Somizi Mhlongo and his ex-partner Palesa has sparked a heated debate.
Recently, Palesa appeared on a podcast to talk about her relationship with Somizi, accusing him of being an absent father.
She claimed that he never took care of their child and also revealed that she had no idea Somizi was gay until she became pregnant.
According to her, it was only at that moment that he confessed his sexual orientation, which completely took her by surprise.
However, these claims were quickly refuted by others close to the situation.
During an episode of Podcast and Chill, host Po Pops stepped in and stated that Palesa was lying.
According to him, Palesa always knew that Somizi was gay before getting into a relationship with him.
This detail completely changes the perspective of the situation because if she was capable of lying about such a fundamental aspect, it raises the question of what else she might be hiding or distorting.
Po Pops’ words have led many to question the truth behind Palesa’s accusations against Somizi.
It was also mentioned that Somizi was not always wealthy and successful.
There were times when he faced financial struggles and did not have the resources he possesses today.
For this reason, doubts arose about what Palesa really meant when she accused Somizi of not taking care of his child.
If at some point he had nothing, how could he have provided financial support?
The controversy has sparked a heated debate over Palesa’s motivations behind her statements.
Some believe that her intention was not merely to share her story but to take advantage of the media attention to promote her makeup brand.
However, attempting to gain fame at the expense of discrediting someone else rarely ends well.
While drama may attract public attention, it does not guarantee business success.
People may engage with the controversy, but that does not mean they will support her brand by purchasing her products.
The audience’s reaction has been mixed.
Some continue to support Palesa and believe her version of events.
Others, however, feel that her statements have lost credibility following Po Pops’ claims.
Regardless of which side people take, one thing is certain—the story has caused a huge stir on social media.
Time will tell whether Palesa will be able to redeem herself or if doubts about her version will continue to affect her image.
