Her message comes after she broke her silence in a recent interview, addressing the backlash that followed how she and her husband had spoken about people in her home country.<\/p>\n<p>Viljoen touched down in South Africa on Wednesday, 27 May, and used the interview to acknowledge that her comments were not acceptable. She said she and her husband, Peet Viljoen, were wrong in the way they previously referred to South Africans, and she expressed regret for the insult her words caused.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mel Viljoen returned to South Africa on Wednesday, 27 May, after time in the United States.<\/li>\n<li>She apologized for comments she made about South Africans, saying her and her husband\u2019s approach was arrogant.<\/li>\n<li>She said US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arranged and paid for her flight home after her release.<\/li>\n<li>Peet Viljoen remains detained in the US, with a potential release decision expected on 12 June.<\/li>\n<li>Mel insisted her arrest in March stemmed from a mistaken theft suspicion linked to bank card issues and scanner problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In her apology, Viljoen said she was \u201cterribly sorry\u201d for what she and her family said about the people of South Africa. She added that she insulted people in an unacceptable way, framing the situation as arrogance that ultimately leads to consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The former Real Housewives of Pretoria cast member said she kept a low profile after landing, explaining that she needed time to settle in and process everything that had taken place. She also revealed new details about how she was brought back, saying US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arranged and covered her flight home following her release.<\/p>\n<p>While Viljoen is now back in South Africa, her husband is still being held in the United States. She said a decision about whether Peet will be released is expected on 12 June, leaving them in a tense waiting period as she deals with being separated from him.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking candidly about their situation, Viljoen described how hard it has been to leave Peet behind. She said the ordeal has been difficult for both of them, while also reflecting on the wider impact of what she called the public fallout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe really doesn\u2019t deserve the global embarrassment of stealing,\u201d she said. She added that she believes a \u201cfall\u201d was necessary so that people could see who she and her husband truly are beneath the headlines.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, Viljoen said she hopes Peet will eventually clear his name. She also expressed her desire for him to return to his legal career once the matter is resolved.<\/p>\n<h3>Plans and claims after the arrest<\/h3>\n<p>Viljoen also addressed her own next steps, saying she wants to return to the beauty industry. She previously worked in nail care, and she hinted that she plans to pick up that chapter again as soon as she is able.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the events that led to her arrest in March, Viljoen maintained that officials wrongly suspected her of theft. She said the misunderstanding began after her bank card failed to work, which then fed into the assumption that she was involved in stealing.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, technical problems with the scanners played a role in how the situation unfolded. She said those issues contributed to the confusion that ultimately led to her detention.<\/p>\n<p>The article also highlights her social media moment after release, referencing that she shared her first selfie following time in an ICE detention centre. In the post, she indicated she wanted to wait for Peet, said he was still \u201cstuck,\u201d and explained that she was preparing to pack her belongings while her items remained stored with a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mel Viljoen, a former reality TV personality and YouTuber, has issued a public apology to South Africans after returning home from the United States.
