After pictures of Mihlali’s bruised face surfaced, people started worrying about her safety. Some fans thought she might have been a victim of gender-based violence.
Her partner, Leeroy Sidambe, then spoke out against the allegations.
“I have always upheld the values of respect, equality in our relationship and interactions. It is disheartening to see how quickly misinformation and manipulation can spread and how easily someone’s character can be called into question without a thorough understanding of the facts.
“As someone who has experienced the disturbing and hurtful impact of these issues personally, I empathize deeply with victims of gender-based violence.”
Leeroy explained that Mihlali tried to call him 78 times on August 4th, but he was asleep and didn’t answer.
“Mihlali then arrived at my residence and persistently requested that my son open for her so she could see me. Upon arriving as my son recollects, she headed to the kitchen to equip herself with a knife in the attempt of stabbing me as she allegedly was shown evidence of me being unfaithful.
“Mihlali Ndamase then came to my bedroom as I was asleep to confront me for being unfaithful and attempted to stab me of which I then protected myself by pushing her away from me resulting in her sustaining her injuries as she made contact with the wall. My son then came to my rescue after hearing me shouting and pleading for Mihlali not to kill me.
Leeroy claimed that Mihlali has a history of physically attacking him and damaging his things, especially when she’s under the influence.
“It is important to note that there is a plethora of witnesses, my children and bystanders whom can attest to me not ever laying a hand on her during / after any altercations but always deflecting and defending myself accordingly. It is unfortunate that Mihlali Ndamase would use her platform to spread these harmful allegations to ploy against my public image in the attempt of being revengeful.”
Sidambe then said that he would cooperate fully with any inquiries, especially from authorities, to clear his name and restore his reputation.
Following Leeroy’s statement, Mihlali posted that there are two sides to the story, and then there is the narcissist’s version of events, which seems to have nothing to do with the original story, “she said.
