Meanwhile, Somizi is reportedly returning to his Idols SA judge's seat after he was axed following the abuse allegations his estranged husband Mohale Motaung leveled against him.
ICYMI, Mohale revealed that at one point, Somizi physically assaulted him leaving him with broken ribs and almost breaking his two teeth.
Somizi denied the allegations saying: "Our relationship has its ups and downs but I have NEVER been physically or knowingly emotionally abusive towards my estranged husband. I vehemently deny the allegations of criminal acts towards him and would like to clear my name of that defamation.
"What I am going to state, however, is that we had one altercation in which I had to defend myself, and both of us were physically hurt by the other. I am at this stage not at liberty to dive deeper into the details but can state that he is not a victim in this situation."
Responding to Somizi's statement, Mohale issued another statement maintaining that he suffered abuse during their relationship.
"I did in fact experience abuse at the hands of my estranged husband both physical and psychological. It is not my wish to seesaw my experience against his as he only has his conscience to reckon with," said Mohale in a statement.
