Award-winning content creator and beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase has spoken out about the abuse she suffered in her relationship with businessman Leeroy Sidambe.
In an open letter, Mihlali admitted that their relationship was toxic and described how the abuse escalated from verbal and emotional to physical.
The situation caught public attention when Mihlali posted pictures of her bruised face on Instagram, which she later deleted.
In response, Sidambe claimed he acted in self-defence, but he has since removed his statement.
In her letter, Mihlali explained how the toxic relationship deeply affected her personal life and career.
“One can only remain silent for so long after dealing with gaslighting, aggression, emotional abuse, manipulation, obsessive behaviour, and control tactics,” Mihlali wrote.
She said the situation worsened over time.
Mihlali ended her letter by asking for privacy as she begins her healing journey.
