In response to the trailer shared by 1Magic, Mohale took to Twitter to express his weariness at Somizi continually mentioning his name for content.
The short clip reportedly touched on their troubled marriage, including the controversial recording published by Sunday World, in which Mohale alleged abuse at the hands of Somizi.
Mohale’s reaction resonated with many who voiced their support for him, emphasising their disinterest in hearing Somizi’s perspective on the matter once again.

Multiple comments under Mohale’s tweet revealed that Mzansi audiences, following the couple’s highly publicized issues, have grown tired of the differing accounts of their story.
This isn’t the first time Somizi has been accused of leveraging his reality TV show as a platform to tarnish Mohale’s reputation.
ZAlebs previously reported instances where Somizi allegedly used the show to smear Mohale’s name, further fuelling the ongoing narrative surrounding their relationship.
In other news, it was recently disclosed that Mohale Motaung and Somizi Mhlongo are reportedly engaged in a dispute over a damaged car, with the possibility of a court battle looming.
According to reports, Mohale sought legal advice, and his lawyers sent a letter of demand to Somizi regarding an Audi A3 that was purportedly damaged in 2018.
The latest developments surrounding Somizi’s reality show have intensified the public scrutiny of their relationship and have sparked debates regarding privacy, responsibility, and the ethics of using personal matters for entertainment purposes.
