According to Briefly News in the trailer which was released last week, peeps will get a front-row seat into the Idols SA judge's private life as he speaks on his divorce, the domestic abuse allegations that almost crippled his career, and his pending court case with Mohale.

Reacting to the news, Mohale said he is not bothered by what his former lover will say regarding their failed union, City Press reports. He said: "I think he should address what he feels like he wants to. We are divorcing, so it’s already out there. It is his truth, and I believe that everybody must be free to say what they want."
