Moshidi Motshegwa Is Done Biting Her Tongue: Actress Reveals The Real Reason She Was Let Go From The River! A week ago the actress only shared the part where they told her they nolonger had a story for her character Malefu and not the backstory until now.
In a recent interview with TshisaLIVE, Moshidi revealed a younger actor on the show had reported her as difficult to work with which led to a disagreement with one of the producers.
“I had had a disagreement with Gwydion, one of the executive producers. He reprimanded me and told me that I was being ‘cruel’ and I needed to stop. One of the younger actresses had complained that she can’t act (with me) because I am being cruel to her. I proceeded to ask what I had done and he couldn’t say, so I left the meeting and went home,” she told TshisaLIVE.
The veteran actress went on to explain how she had signed a contract for the second season on December 1st only for the line producer and creative producer, Percy Vilakazi to call her for a meeting on the 21st telling her they nolonger had a storyline for Malefu.
“What happened to me is terrible. I was accused of something I had not done, there was no evidence of me having done something like that. And I hate this narrative that older black women are threatened by younger black actresses – we are not. She (the fellow actress) was not given enough support to help her with her craft. In fact, I’m one of the people that pointed out that she needed support and I would help her,” she added.
