Pearl Thusi has no filter and we absolutely love it!
The TV and radio personality has often gotten into trouble because she never holds back and always tells it like it is.
A couple of months ago Mamma Pantha got into trouble for expressing her dislike for comedian Trevor Noah in a message that she shared to congratulate him on booking The Daily Show gig.
Yes, that’s right she sent out a message to say congratulations and in the very same message expressed how much she doesn’t like the guy. (Read that story HERE.)
Knowing Pearl, we all know that there’s a reasonable explanation as to why she doesn’t really like Trevor and well she’s finally decided to let us in on it.
Speaking to Gareth on CliffCentral on Monday morning, Pearl shares why Trevor has not always been her favourite: “It’s so petty.”
“He’s dated a girl I know and I didn’t like what she had to say. Uhm, he’s very like ‘we’re at a table, I’m gonna take over’ you know, ‘I’m most famous type thing’. There’s that thing, you know, it’s unsaid but it’s there. Maybe I’m just being insecure, maybe it’s that.
“But he’s very like, ‘I’m Trevor Noah, I’m smart, I’m clever, I’m whatever’ and you’ll be there with people who are his friends and he’s like ‘I’m not interested in you’,” she adds.
She then goes on to give an example of a run in she had with the comedian in Cape Town and from that incident, it was definitely a wrap for her.
“There was this one time, now he knows all the people that I was with and they will stand with me on this. We were in Cape Town at this hotel… And he came with I think it was a Ferrari or a Lamborgini… and he comes up and they were like ‘look, it’s Trevor’ and I’m like ‘ugh, he’s not the nicest guy… He did not even greet us and I was like ‘this is it, I’m done with this guy’.”
Talk about being an open book! We love it!
