Now, a week later, another video has surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), in which Minnie addresses the ‘joke’ she made about Itumeleng.
In the video clip, recorded on a cellphone while the show was broadcasted, Minnie said that after learning “what a joke was from me last week Sunday right here on Curated, the socials went on to make that joke trend the whole week”.
What came after Minnie’s comment on the social media attention had Netizens believing that the actress is having a meltdown.
She went on to say that she doesn’t have anything to say about the whole situation and asked for her privacy to be respected. She added that she is also under a lot of stress. “When I’m not trending on social media all week, I’m also on the front pages of tabloids for buying people furniture.”
“In the words of influencer Mhlali Ndamase: ‘I’m so tired of carrying this industry on my back’,” she said as the video came to an end.
