Social Media Influencer Eva Modika has issued a stern warning to Popcornroom. Eva is accusing the blog of slandering her brand.
In a statement she issued on Instagram, Eva claims that the blog is using her name to gain momentum, "I see you have abruptly decided to go on a rampage to character assassinate me. I hereby would like to let you know that your efforts will not bear fruits," she said.
The influencer said she has no intention to fight the blog, however, she would like the owner to stop using her name.
"I understand times are hard and you may be struggling with your blog, by so doing, you're using me to gain momentum. Kindly refrain from such because it will fare badly," she warned.
She also made it clear that she does not own a blog and she is not affiliated with Popcornroom. In June this year, Eva was accused of owning Maphephandaba and the Popcornroom.
She released a letter demanding that Doro Mongy compensates her R500 000 before the end of June 22, 2021, for unlawfully and wrongfully making false claims that she is the owner of these publications.
The now-deleted letter stated, "You wrongfully and unlawfully published the false claims and information to third parties on Instagram including sharing the same false claims and information with your close friends and other known and unknown Instagram and Whatsapp users."
It furthermore stated that Doro's Intentions were to injure and harm Eva's reputation, self-esteem, and brand, "you also indicated that you would want to make Miss Modika suffer and that happiness and comfort will be your gains once you see her suffer!"
The letter revealed that Doro referred to Eva as a mole which according to the letter means that she is "an invisible small animal influencing publication in the online publication and or that she is the actual character behind Maphepha Ndaba."
It was also stated that Doro revealed on her Instagram Live that she will physically assault Eva and make her account for what she claims Eva caused in her life.
"In pursuit of the wrongful and unlawful endeavors, you went live on Instagram using your Instagram account @doro_mongy_empire. You the invited your huge following or any interested parties to whom it may concern to listen from you uttering and repeated vile at Miss Modika calling her unprintable names at the same time insulting her person and womanhood repeatedly informing all to whom it may concern that Miss Modika is one of the persons behind maphephandaba."
