Showmax’s new show “Unfollowed” has received quite the following since it premiered its first episode with Lady Zamar, and it focuses on what what happens to a celebrity who’s been “cancelled” and speaks to various public figures about the effect their respective social media fallouts had on their careers.
The most recent episode from the show has the comedian and reality TV star Toll A$$ Mo on the hot seat, deep diving into his controversial public fallout following the rape allegations that derailed his career
The actress and model Lerato Moloi claimed on Twitter (now X), back in June 2020 that Toll A$$ Mo had raped her back in 2014. As much as the case has since been dismissed without trial, the damage to his career has been done and the effects are still felt.
Toll A$$ Mo opens up to the show’s host Thembekile Mrototo about how that affected his mental health, his family and his career, as he confronted trial by social media. He said: “My whole world changed in less than 72 hours… When this tweet happened, my whole world changed in less than 72 hours… Never have I been in the tabloids like, ‘Mo’s cheating on his wife.’ Never! But now the first thing that compromises my integrity, I’m that. I’m a rapist.”
“That’s the example that I’ve been living but it’s not good enough. What do you guys want? Do you want a divorce special?” Mo went on to add that he “lost my mind” during this ordeal and he’s since struggled to forgive Moloi for the allegations.
He said he was admitted into a mental asylum in Glenwood because he lost his mind. “I was given shots of morphine and strapped with a body strap to calm me down, because I had my world ended. I didn’t know what the hell was going on.”
“I was attacked by feminists left, right and centre. Feminists who still can’t apologise to me today…I’ve got post-traumatic stress from being in a room with too many women. I get nervous. I sweat. I feel like I’m gonna be attacked…”
The media personality also went on to explain all the drama cost him “millions” and also highlighted his new partnership with private investigator Mike Bolhuis in an NGO that’s championing men who claim to have been falsely accused of rape.
“I’m here to teach the next man who was falsely accused of such a thing: how do you stand up? How do you fight for your life? How do you prove your innocence? And how do you stay sane?”
