Elsa thanks Mzansi

Taking to X on Tuesday, Elsa expressed gratitude to South Africans for always showing up for her.

She wrote: “Damn I really love South Africa. Like ‘ride or die’ kind of love. South Africans have shown up for me in ways I have no words to describe. Just here to acknowledge and be grateful…

“I don’t think you guys understand how much you’ve done for me. I’m beyond grateful and forever indebted. It has made me cry not just now but even from way back then in the beginning.”

The fallout

In a now-deleted video, Elsa recounted how the American supermodel almost ended her career.

She said the issue began in 2020 when Naomi invited her to join her on vacation.

During their time together, Naomi allegedly proposed the idea of creating a documentary that would highlight Elsa’s life in Kenya.

Elsa said in March 2022, she had a film debut at a Tribeca Film Festival, and Naomi thought it was the one she had suggested.

She said Naomi then called her, threatening legal action, Elsa said a few months after that, things started going very bad for her.

In what fans believe is a subtle response to Elsa’s allegations, Naomi shared a post on her IG stories that talks about keeping quiet.
