Nonhle Thema has been a screen icon for years, and she is pretty good at her job. But her career has been laced with so many dramatic sideshows that tweeps are losing sight of her talent. Her latest rant just proved to her fans why they find it so exhausting to support her.
The actress recently took to social media to complain about auditions. She said she would no longer be auditioning for roles, and would instead wait for those who wanted her to look for her. She believes that she has proved her talent enough, and should have earned their respect by now, which would mean she considers it disrespectful or degrading to audition for a role.

Tweeps were not amused by the statement. Following the news of Nonhle’s remarks, she has been dragged mercilessly online. Nobody understands how she could have the audacity to so boldly proclaim she will never audition again, especially since her career has been struggling for a while now.
According to social media users, the actress has a history of sabotaging herself at every turn. A few years back, she went on a wild social media rant, telling people not to talk smack about her or she will mess them up. She also bragged about how rich she was, and hurled some vicious words at her haters.

It all felt a little weird for her fans, and she lost many followers that time. Many have struggled to take her seriously since then. The social media meltdown also cost her brand endorsements, and it was the beginning of her fall from grace.
Now it looks like the actress has not learned much from that experience, as she continues to create drama online. But this time, tweeps will not let it slide.
They have called it an odd choice for her to decide not to audition, since her brand is essentially dead. While they admit that she had a good thing going once upon a time, she ruined it all, and they think she should realise that nobody even wants her anymore anyway, because of all the drama she comes with.
The TV presenter has been called arrogant and self important. Tweeps don’t understand what she means when she says she is done trying to be humble, when she was always a self obsessed diva. They thought the black balling she has received from the film and TV industry for the past several years would have taught her a few lessons about humility, but they are disappointed to see that it has clearly not.
It’s odd that Nonhle chooses to go on an embarrassing public rant every so often. She may have a point on the auditioning thing, though. After all, big stars have roles created with them in mind. And considering how long she has been in the industry, nobody is wondering how good an actress she is anymore.
But perhaps she may need to factor in the beating that her career has taken recently. She still needs to get back on her feet and regain the respect and interest of industry executives, and we highly doubt that doing more social media rants is the way to achieve that. But to each her own, right?
