After their break-up, Tino gave fans the impression that he had found love in the arms of a model, Sadia Sallie.
Shortly after the model was pictured kissing Tino, Sadia Sallie took to Twitter to address the images in a lengthy thread.
She put it on record that they did not get married.
“Hey everyone, I just wanna put it out there that I definitely did not get married, I was just contacted as a model and was kept in the dark about everything even when I arrived on the day I was told I had to ‘act’ and pretend that it’s my wedding. Felt intimidated so I complied.
“Nonetheless, I thought to myself okay it’s just for content for this bridal boutique and all its models but now this publicity stunt is being pulled without my consent. I’ve addressed my concerns and discomfort and it’s been ignored so I’d like to make this statement myself.”
Sadia approved of the shoot but was against the narrative that Tino was pushing at the time.
I don’t consent to the narrative being pushed. I just went in there to do my job and I wish my voice was respected as a woman to have kept everything very professional. I was told “the controversy is good for the boutique and brand “ but it’s not good for my brand. I want no parts.
