What’s with the US accent, Thando Thabethe?

Fans were super excited when Thando Thabethe revealed she would be flying to Australia to interview Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

But after hanging with the reality stars for a few minutes, it seems Thando has developed an American accent.

Now we have all heard of people going overseas and returning to SA with posh new accents, but who goes to Australia and develops a US accent?

That is what we call the Kardashian-Jenner effect people.

But we can’t blame Thando, who dyed her hair blue just like Kylie Jenner for the trip.

She probably was just too excited to meet the super famous sisters. 

But Twitter users were not so understanding.
