The former Scandal! actress posted a picture of her and fellow co-star Siyabonga Twala during a theatre show, which then sparked a series of invasive questions from her female followers, who wanted to know if the actor is a good kisser.
This lead the actress to discipline her followers by warning them about such questions saying they sound rapey and uncalled for. She also added that Siyabonga is old enough to be her father so she respects him.
"Hayi sisi, this man is old enough to be my father! Also we were at work. I wasn’t there to assess that," she said.
Seeing nothing wrong with her question, the follower continued by saying his age group is her type. Masasa was not condemning her predatory question and told her that women cannot expect to have separate rules from men.
"This tweet sounds rapey. Cima mntase cima! Can’t have separate rules for them and us," Masasa responded.
There has been an outcry from female actresses who expressed how they felt violated at times because of the male co-workers who would sexually offend them in a way that would often leave them unsafe. Masasa was not about to do the same to a male actor and said she cannot make him feel violated.
"Please don’t ask me if the men I work with are nice kissers. I don’t know but something sounds rapey, opportunistic and high key predatory about that sort of rhetoric. I can’t demand safe sets and also be answering such. Integrity to me means your word congruent with you actions," she commented.
This is not the first time she has addressed issues such as this. Masasa answered a burning question from one of her inquisitive followers who asked if actors get aroused by intimate scenes on-set or not.
As a person who has experienced such, Masasa said it would be violating a person if that were to happen.
"That would be sexual harassment. We discuss intimate scenes and block them with the care, safety and precautions needed so all feel safe. So, no. No-one gets turned on," she said.
Sexual violation situations surrounding entertainers is not new. Lorraine Moropa opened up about being a victim of sexual harassment from a senior actor on Lithapo. Unfortunately for Lorraine, she could not reveal the name of the actor because of legal reasons. But all fingers pointed to Mangaliso Ngema.
