(The Post News) – Mihlali Ndamase, an award-winning content creator, influencer, and businesswoman, finally spoke out on the recent developments and revelations about her relationship with businessman Leeroy Sidambe. The pair’s relationship has been embroiled in scandal after scandal since news of their relationship and its particulars went public.
Their relationship took a dark turn when Ndamase posted and deleted images of herself battered and bruised onto her Instagram stories and tagged her on-and-off boyfriend Sidambe, leading people to believe she was exposing him for domestic abuse.
Sidambe denied the allegations in a statement on Instagram where he claimed that Ndamase sustained her injuries through him defending himself against her attempt to stab him after she called him several times and then showed up to his house in early August. He further alleged that Ndamase’s history of violent attacks are fuelled by the use of substances he did not want to name.
On Monday night, 12 August, Ndamase posted a 2+ minute video titled ‘Thank You’ to her Youtube channel, speaking out on the matter. In the visual open letter, she admitted that she was involved in a toxic relationship and elaborated that the relationship began verbally and emotionally abusive and escalated to physical abuse.
She shared that she experienced gaslighting, manipulation, obsessive behaviour, and control tactics but went on to say that she takes full responsibility for her involvement in the relationship’s toxicity.
“The scars of this experience run deep, and the trauma continues to echo in my personal life and my business,” she added.
She stated that she intends to embark on a journey of healing, receive the necessary help she needs, and hopes to inspire others to speak out and leave toxic environments.
