South African media personality Minnie Dlamini has dropped a bombshell that she has lost job opportunities because of her presence on social media.
Dlamini revealed that her online presence and responding to social media trolls have cost her severely as she lost job opportunities.
Speaking to KFM, the former Homeground co-presenter suggested she regrets responding to angry people on social media who are looking for 15 seconds of fame.
“It’s hard. Most of the time you realise it’s sad people, hurt people [or] people who are trying to get their 15 seconds of fame,” she said.
“You deal with it as logically as you possibly can. I always tell to people I’m still human, I see them and it does hurt.
“I won’t lie, I’ve lost a lot of business as a result of people making up stories about me. People need to be a lot more cognisant that their words have power and you can destroy livelihoods and homes on statements that aren’t true.”
While Minnie prefers to lead a private life and lay low, she’s had to come out to refute defamatory statements, and following her divorce from husband Quinton Jones in May 2022, tweeps speculated about what led to their separation
Tweeps ran with an unverified rumour that Minnie had an affair with businessman Edwin Sodi but the duo was quick to rubbish the reports in a joint statement.
Meanwhile, artist Denise Zimba recently took to Twitter and said she will leave Twitter and dreams of owning a farm in Italy.
“I really have to get off social media. It just ain’t my thing no more. I want a farm in North Italy with a few animals and harvest wine. That’s the dream. One more child and aches of land,” she wrote.
Checking out a recent post on Dlamini, Entertainment SA reported that the television presenter has bowed out of the popular sports and lifestyle show, and penned an emotional message.
Dlamini hosted the programme which aired on Mzansi Magic’s 161 with Lungile Radu and she headed online to bid farewell to the show.
