Somizi and Mohale are currently embroiled in a messy divorce drama. In 2021, Mohale accused Somizi of being physically abusive. A recording exclusively revealed by Sunday World revealed accusations of jealousy, orgy, and open marriage made by Mohale.
The actor claimed that during one of their domestic violence tiffs, Somizi allegedly pulled out a knife and almost stabbed them both. "I took my keys and walked out, he took a knife. I was about to exit, so he said to me, βif you exitβ¦ Iβm going to kill us both.β So I took my keys and ran. He grabbed the knife and said βif you walk out, Iβm going to stab you.β Now I see a different person. I was sh*t scared and walked back into the house. He said βletβs talk.β He cried and we moved on,β he told the publication.
Somizi released a statement denying the claims : Our relationship has its ups and downs but I have NEVER been physically or knowingly emotionally abusive towards my estranged husband. I vehemently deny the allegations of criminal acts towards him and would like to clear my name of that defamation.
What I am going to state however is that we had one altercation in which I had to defend myself and both of us were physically hurt by the other. I am at this stage not at liberty to dive deeper into the details but can state that he is not a victim in this situation."
Mohale Motaung, is set to spill more beans in his highly anticipated Showmax Original Mohale: On the Record about the alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of Somnizi
In the trailer Mohale recounted how he was happy until Somizi began to control him and remind him that he was beneath him: βI was really myself when I was with him and I could express myself in many waysβ¦ I was happy until certain things started to happenβ¦ Like the control and constantly being reminded that I bring nothing to the table except my pretty face.β
He also spoke about the alleged domestic abuse "I remember him saying that he needs to mess up my face,β Mohale told Aldrin Sampear.
