‘IT’S ME THAT WALKED AWAY’

Tol Ass Mo explained that they have tried everything they possibly can to save their marriage, but nothing worked. He added that he is the one who called off the marriage.

“It’s me that’s walking away, Fresh… I am f**ken traumatised. I am traumatised by black women. I’m traumatised to a point that I don’t want to have a black wife again,” he said.

The sangoma, however, explained that his estranged wife is not part of his trauma.

“I even said that in my interview that when I was making love to my wife I’d get flashbacks of this woman [Lerato Moloi’s] face in my mind,” he said.

According to Tol Ass Mo, Mome is not happy that he called things off, adding that they now live in seperated homes and have not explained anything to their children.

“I need to heal…I need time by myself.”

In 2018, model and actress Lerato Moloi accused the comedian of raping her when they were working on a television production in Paarl, Western Cape. A statement released by Moloi in 2020 revealed that the incident took place in 2014.

Tol Ass Mo was acquitted of sexual assault in August 2022 and threatened to sue the model for the accusations.
