Connie Ferguson and Lesedi left ‘triggered’ after viral video warning

Actress, producer and businesswoman Connie Ferguson has been triggered by a video gone viral that was shared by a so-called prophet.

The video was shared by a prophet on social media, claiming that Connie was in danger of getting cancer.

The producer took to Twitter after viewing the clip to share that she was triggered by the video and the message which the prophet had for her.

Ferguson’s eldest daughter, Lesedi Matsunyane-Ferguson, also took to social media to express how distasteful the video was. She accused the prophet of attacking her mother and using the Ferguson family to gain clout.

“Ohhh we pay attention to God, alright; and for a ‘Man of God’ you have very malicious intentions by using my family as clickbait. If your heart is as pure as what your calling REQUIRES you to be, you’d have found any other way to deliver whatever message directly.

“Salacious at best. I don’t care that we’re public figures, have some kind of basic decency & decorum. We have a lot to move forward from, as is,” said Lesedi in a tweet.

“Exercise is good for so many different reasons, but the reason I commit, even when I don’t feel like it, is because of its effect on my mental health! It’s been years that I’ve been off antidepressants, and even in the most challenging times, I managed to stay off. Wake up, PRAY, exercise and go about your day,” said Ferguson in the caption of her post.

After sharing the positive effects which her workout routines have had on her and her mental health over the years, her fans thanked her for the reminder to persevere on their own fitness journeys.
