Thuli Phongolo might be a huge fan of Big Brother Mzansi but what she is not a fan of, is housemates spewing bile on her name. Just a few hours in the Big Brother house, housemates were already saying some nasty things about her and she was not at all impressed.
The first evictions took place last night and this saw two housemates leaving the house. These were Mvelo Ntuli and Rethabile Potsane, AKA Dinky Bliss.
Fans have been vying for Mvelo to be the first to exit and they were not playing. They were not impressed by his constant laughing and eating, saying he is annoying. One housemate people were sad to see leave though was Dinky, who apparently added some zest on the show.
Just a few hours in the Big Brother mansion, housemates were speaking amongst themselves saying Thuli does not bring anything to the industry, basically saying she is boring and talentless.
An angry and disappointed Thuli, took to social media to mention how the housemates are very forward by saying all those things they said on the very first day in the Big Brother house.
Tweeps laughed at this and agreed that they are moving very fast and should they continue to talk bad about other personalities, it might not end too well on their side - and it did not.
She also had a strong message for jealous people.
People can be so jealous, like, what do YOU gain from it? Heal.
It was speculated that as talented as she is, she had diva tendencies which rubbed the producers the wrong way, In actual fact, Thuli said schedule clashes caused her to neglect the show which resulted in a joint decision to leave the show.
“Concerning the allegations that have been made in the media relating to Thuli’s professionalism and work commitment, we [Thuli's team via statement] vehemently would like to refute them as baseless and devoid of substance.
“It is imperative to note Thuli and the producers of the show reached a mutual agreement to end her role on ’The Wife’ pursuant to them agreeing that the production schedules for continued filming were unsuitable for all parties involved. Her portrayal of Lerato and working with the cast has brought her immense joy and has made an indelible contribution to her growth and career as an actor.”
Leaving the show on her own will was QV, real name Keamogwetse Motlhale, who said she had to take care of her own mental health. "I'm sure everyone noticed that I have been a little bit closed off...I've come to realise that I'm clearly struggling from something and as much as I would like to throw it behind and focus solely on knowing each and everyone of you, it's not only affecting me mentally, I'm feeling it physically. So I will be leaving the game.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity which has always been my childhood dream and for that, I’ll never take the moments for granted. One thing you guys should take away from this is that, healing takes time,” she shared.
Confirming her exit was Shirley Adonisi Director of Local Entertainment Channels said, "QV has bid farewell to her fellow housemates and has also expressed her gratitude to the production team for the opportunity to be in the House A psychologist is working with her to ensure a smooth transition back into the outside world and guide her through her journey going forward. We wish her all the best on her journey and she has our full support.”
