@eraytee001 was in full support of what Grace said:

@Sir_izu stated that:

This is total bullsh*t. I am not insinuating scamming is a good idea but then is there any dignity in being broke? Lol, it seems you haven't been broke in your life until you are accused of stealing because they know since you can't afford it you are most likely the culprit."

User @eraytee001 further addressed a problem he saw with many of the comments:

Speaking of relationships, South Africa's own Trevor Noah has been rumoured to have found himself a new bae and Briefly.co.za reported on when the comedian went house-hunting with Minka Kelly and gave fans some confirmation that they were dating.

Hollywood insiders had said that the pair were spotted house-hunting together in Los Angeles. TV show host Wendy Williams spoke about the story on her chat show and said that Trevor and Minka were looking at properties on the California housing market.

The two have not confirmed their relationship publicly and have not been seen together since the Covid-19 crisis hit but rumours surfaced in early August that they were dating.

E! News reported that a source had confirmed the relationship and that Trevor and Minka have been living together for "several months" and that things are "getting serious".

Wendy Williams took the couple rumours one step further and said that Trevor Noah is definitely dating Minka and that he's very into "solid relationships" and that the two were looking for a house together.

Whether Minka was involved in the one Trevor eventually bought is unclear, but the house-hunting must have worked because the comedian purchased a property in Bel-Air and Briefly.co.za took a sneak peek inside the R400 million mansion.
