Somizi's reality show Living the Dream with Somizi is set to premiere on 4 May and judging by the trailer, it will be even bigger and more dramatic. One thing fans are all looking forward to is Somizi Mhlongo speaking about his divorce from estranged husband Mohale Motaung.
Every single aspect about their divorce will be discussed including the alleged assault, division of Somizi's assets and many more. In the new season his entire family including his daughter Bahumi Mhlongo and baby mama Palesa Madisakwane will be featured.
Other people in the reality show include Somizi's friends Lorcia Cooper, Vusi Nova and Shauwn Mkhize.
Lorcia wants to know whether Somizi hit Mohale or not and MamMkhize slams Mohale for wanting half of his assets.
Best believe, nothing will be off limits and Showmax Candice Fangueiro, head of content said in a statement that they wanted to balance everything since they showed their lovely much-talked about union.
“His wedding special, Somizi & Mohale: The Union, was the union of the year and set a then-record for the most first-day views on Showmax at launch. Having told the story of the wedding, which appeared to many almost like a fairytale, for balance we wanted to explore everything that followed,” she said.
When questioned about how he feels about Somizi laying their private affairs bare, Mohale told City Press. it is his truth and if he feels like it, he can say whatever he wants.
“I think he should address what he feels like he wants to. We are divorcing, so it’s already out there. It is his truth and I believe that everybody must be free to say what they want.”
Mohale unintentionally aired their nasty split in a recording where he said Somizi threatened him with a kitchen knife. "I took my keys and walked out, he took a knife. I was about to exit, so he said to me, ‘if you exit… I’m going to kill us both.’ So I took my keys and ran. He grabbed the knife and said ‘if you walk out, I’m going to stab you.’ Now I see a different person. I was sh*t scared and walked back into the house. He said ‘let’s talk.’ He cried and we moved on,” he said.
Mohale then released a statement and said, "I did in fact experience abuse at the hands of my estranged husband both physical and psychological. It is not my wish to seesaw my experience against his as he only has his conscience to reckon with."
Somizi in his version of events denied this, "Never in my wildest dreams did I think that one day I would have to defend my honor as a result of someone I have loved so deeply and so genuinely deliberately harming a reputation I've worked so hard to build. For the most parts of my life, I've kept my relationships out of the public eye until my one and only marriage which you witnessed on television and other social media."
We certainly cannot wait for the reality show to begin!
