Letoya Makhene-Pulumo, star of ‘Home Wrecker,’ has replied to reports that she was beaten up by her wife, Lebohang Pulumo-Makhene.
Letoya Makhene-Pulumo, an actress, singer, and sangoma, has denied accusations that she was physically abused by her wife, Lebohang Pulumo-Makhene.
This follows a report published by Sunday World on August 6, saying that the incident occurred last month and that the former Generations: The Legacy actress was escorted by two police vehicles as she left Lebohang’s family house in Mohlakeng.
The publication reported that Letoya – who stars in the Netflix original film, Home Wrecker – sustained black eyes and a punctured lung.
The source claimed that Letoya was so hurt and angry that she had gotten a lawyer to help her file for divorce and also press charges against her partner. However, she eportedly later changed her mind and went back to her.
Following the alleged attack, Lebohang allegedly threatened to resign from all of Letoya’s businesses and stated that she would no longer organize the singer’s upcoming show.
However, the couple has denied the rumours, despite a police officer reportedly confirming that they were called in to escort Letoya.
According to Letoya, she and Lebohang are happily married and no assault took place.
“I have initiates here at my home. So my home is very sacred and peaceful. We respect ancestors. If I backtrack to the date, I have sisters who look exactly like me. It could have been my sister Gontse.”
Letoya further lambasted the accusations in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday.
“Frankly, I’m sick of journalists from @thesundayworld calling me and my wife about one thing and then writing stories about something completely unrelated to what they even called about.”
“How is that ethical? You don’t even stop to think how your tacky write ups will affect our families, our work and our brands. What happened to investigating a story?
“So basically I can make up a lie about someone who’s life I want to destroy and some journalist will happily write about it just because it’s possibly going to sell papers that we have to admit no one is interested in buying anymore,” she wrote in part.
