In a whirlwind of drama that started on the “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip - South Africa” (RHUGT) has spilled over into “The Mommy Club” as tensions between Her Majesty and Melanie Viljoen have reached a boiling point.
The feud started when Viljoen, who featured on “The Real Housewives of Pretoria” and the Showmax spin-off in Jamaica, addressed allegations that she had scammed Her Majesty (real name Happy Simelane) out of R2.8 million, which was intended for a Tammy Taylor franchise.
“The Mommy Club” star previously claimed on “Carte Blanche” that she paid “The Real Housewives” star and her husband Peet Viljoen the hefty sum but never received ownership of the beauty salon.
During a heated moment on “RHUGT”, Melanie stirred the pot further by suggesting that HerMajesty “sued herself” over the disputed funds.
“Happy Simelane created a company and sued herself,” she boldly stated on the show.
However, when the “Daily Sun” approached Her Majesty for her side of the story, she didn’t hold back.
“She went on and said I sued myself. Tell me who, in their right mind, sues themselves?”
“Clearly, she’s implying that I’m not normal upstairs or that I’m mentally disturbed. Why would I sue myself, where were my lawyers in the midst of this, who was helping me sue myself?
“I don’t know who’s crazy between me and her. But one day is one day, every dog has its day.”
Her Majesty also raised concerns about the justice system’s handling of such disputes.
“I feel the justice system is failing us,” she added to the publication. “Why are so many cases with so many screaming voices and people crying still allowed to operate?”
Despite the turmoil, Her Majesty revealed a silver lining amidst the chaos.
“After that whole incident, I sat down and thought about how I had a dream of opening my own beauty parlour,” she said.
“I won’t let these two people take away that dream. I’m going to have my own salon and my own franchise.”
