‘RHOD’ star slaps cast member with legal action for ‘defamation’

The on-screen animosity between Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) stars Ameigh Thompson and Zama Ngcobo has reached fever pitch. 

 

The two media personalities have taken their hatred for one another up a notch and escalated it to legal action.

 

Following a heated season-four finale that aired on Wednesday, Thompson slapped Ngcobo with a letter of demand following what she calls defamatory remarks made on social media.

 

In a letter of demand sent to Ngcobo by Thompson’s lawyers a week ago, the new reality television show member was given until the weekend to retract statements made against her co-star and apologise for defaming her. 

 

The letter reads: “We demanded that you remove all social media posts related to Ameigh and her children. We have noted that you have not removed the posts from the Twitter platform, also known as X.

 

“My client hereby demands that you urgently remove all related posts and/or content from social media platforms within 24 hours and make a public apology.”

However, a defiant Ngcobo ignored the letter of demand and continued with business as usual on her social media pages.

 

She allegedly took a swipe at Thompson through her social media pages, claiming that her fellow castmate is using her children to create content on social media.

 

She added that Thompson abandoned her children and chose to stay with a man.

 

The two have been at each other’s throats throughout the new season, with Thompson also attacking Ngcobo by calling her an old fossil who has no man, no children, and is regarded as a national side chick.

 

 “52, no man, no kids, failed career because your body is too old to work for you. I’d be mad too if I had to beg married men for money,” Thompson said on Instagram.
