When it rains it pours for Bongani Fassie as he finds himself in serious trouble again. Music industry mogul and Muthaland Entertainment founder Lance Stehr has instituted a R6.5 million defamation lawsuit against musician and reality TV star Bongani Fassie for allegations he made on his show that Stehr supplied him with cocaine.
Stehr contended that these statements, aired on episode seven, were a culmination of views about him on previous shows that he was an “unscrupulous procurer” of drugs for musicians under his label and he was a manager who did not comply with his professional obligations.
“Beyond the false allegation that the plaintiff turned defendant on to and supplied him with cocaine, the plaintiff is characterised as an unprofessional and exploitative and criminal manager by the defendant,” read the papers
He added that episode one of the reality show started introducing the allegations made against him expressly and by innuendo.
“The way these comments are staged and edited are made to appear truthful, with no indication that these statements are allegations and unproven. The first episode saw no right of reply from Lance Stehr.”
Multi-talented producer Bongani Fassie (36) had traveled the continent making music with the Hip-Hop group Jozi consisting of then members Lesley “Da Les” Mampe, Crazy Lu, and Ishmael Morabe.
