Season five of 'The Real Housewives of Durban' has kept reality TV lovers glued to their screens as the drama unfolds. As with previous seasons, the new season trended week after week, but one cast member's name continuously trended.
Love or hate her, Minnie Ntuli shook the tables on 'The Real Housewives of Durban.'. From addressing wig seller Precious about her treatment of her staff to addressing Londie London for returning to the group, Ntuli didn't hold back.
What started as a minor squabble with Londie London quickly escalated into one of the season's most talked-about feuds. The fallout saw Ntuli losing her cool and being labelled a "mean girl" by some viewers online.
Ntuli discussed the past season with Showmax before the eagerly awaited reunion.
Addressing a key question from viewers about her difficult relationship with Londie London, she set the record straight, clarifying whether there was prior bad blood.
'There's no dramatic backstory or secret feud,' said Ntuli.
Her arguments with Londie London began with criticism of outfits, which moved to Londie London's place in the group. Then things somehow moved to how people were raised and designer wear also in the mix, and how people allegedly make their money.
'What happened between us happened on the show, in real time, and, unfortunately, it spiralled. Emotions were high, egos were bruised, and communication broke down.'
Ntuli revealed that she has since privately apologized to Londie London. 'What viewers saw wasn't the full picture, but my actions in those moments are on me,' she said.
The radio star has received immense online criticism and social media backlash. She has even had to make her Instagram account private. 'People say hurtful things with zero context, and it stings. But I try to separate the noise from the truth.
Ntuli handles the criticism by reading what she needs to grow, and releasing what doesn't serve her. 'I've had to remind myself daily that being flawsome means owning your mistakes, learning out loud, and giving yourself grace.'
Participating in reality TV is challenging, and while Ntuli understands the nature of editing and its potential impact on viewers' perceptions, she gained valuable insights into both her strengths and weaknesses through the experience.
