For some time now, many people have been wondering what happened between Unathi and Somizi Mhlongo. The two were once very close, and all along people thought that they had a fallout because they thought Unathi sided with Mohale during Somizi and Mohale’s marriage saga.
It turns out that Unathi’s breaking point came when Somizi Mhlongo started making his divorce with Mohale content that he shared online and on his reality show, Living the dream with Somizi. In a clip for an upcoming episode that Unathi posted on her Instagram with Gareth Cliff, Unathi spoke about how her father was the one who made her realize that Somizi is not one to keep as a friend.
“Thomas and I got divorced. You and Randall never chose a side. Everybody did not choose sides, but he did (referring to Somizi). He would come back and talk smack about me on the very same reality show, and my dad said this is your real life now, and we have raised you to go to school for what you do. He wants your divorce to play out on his reality show, and that is not going to happen in the Nkayi name. You are not going to the wedding, that is your first statement, and that is when I said that we are not friends”, said Unathi repaying advice from her father regarding her friendship with Somizi.
People commented on Unathi’s post of the clip and some already cannot wait for the episode to air, and some were happy that Unathi exposed Somizi.
“I have so much to say but have been silent for years. I just don’t have the energy, but mosadi (lady), go ahead expose”, said Hoodhighfashion.
“Somizi has shown everyone around him, through and through that he stays loyal to himself…this just proves it, again”, said Lesego.
“Time is a beautiful thing, as hard as it often can be to sit in the realities of our pain nad discomfort, time offers us clarity and really helps build the vocabulary needed to tell our stories in an unfiltered fashion. Thank God you have a community and a family where restorative love is a reality, your dad is an incredible blessing (I’m sure you jkow this already) but it’s a beautiful thing to be held in kindness during moments that feel like hailstorms. Sharing your truth cannot be an easy show but its beautiful that you’re doing it anyway”, wrote Zizipho.
It seems like Unathi has made a decision to stay away from Somizi and their friendship might never be fixed. What are your thoughts on Somizi being a friend like this to Unathi?
