I see clips of it on my socials. Firstly, this UGT Africa is extremely disturbing to watch; the way the girls rallied together to bully Christall was appalling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;@goatoriginals.tv, this was not fun to watch. Yes, on my season, I thought it was a bit kooky, but it was all fun. We all understood her. @showmaxonline, constantly showing women bully women is not entertaining television,\u201d wrote Liz Prinsloo, a castmate from The Real Housewives of Gqeberha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>DJ and artist Lady Du remarked: \u201cA person moving from a mansion to a two-bedroom apartment is weaponised \ud83d\udc94\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\udc94.

I\u2019m not sure about this type of content. This can\u2019t be normalised; honestly, this is contributing to the decay of our society. \ud83d\udeae\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Radio personality Eva Modika added, \u201cThis is very disturbing to watch! @showmaxonline, noooo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the airing of the episode, Kay appeared on the Engineer Your Life Podcast, where she opened up about her experiences on the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have ever watched Real Housewives from the start, the edits have been quite accurate. You\u2019ll see that I\u2019ve never started insulting any of those ladies. I\u2019ve never been that girl who said one nasty thing about their dress, their eye, their bag, or anything else. I\u2019ve only reacted to them coming for me,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI challenge anyone to find a place where I started the fight,\u201d said Kay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In a separate incident, she was allegedly involved in a violent physical clash with DJ Tira\u2019s wife, Gugu Khathi, on The Real Housewives of Johannesburg season 3.<\/p>\n<p>The clash, which happened at a nightclub in Pretoria, resulted in Kay suffering injuries, including a black eye.<\/p>\n<p>Kay claims the incident was recorded on camera.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the altercation, which also reportedly involved fellow cast member Brinnette Seopela, filming was stopped, and season 3 was ultimately cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that both Kay and Khathi opened assault cases against each other following the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The assault was never aired as the season did not make it to television.\u00a0Kay said that though she didn&#8217;t formally continue with the case, she might do so in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source capetimes.co.za \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrities have come together to support Christall Kay, a star from The Real Housewives of Johannesburg, following allegations of bullying on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa (UGT).
