Responding to the viral photos in a statement, the former Generations star blasted her son for following in his father's footsteps. Sonia Mbele admitted that she should have taken the necessary steps to ensure that Donell doesn't end up like her ex-husband. She, however, vowed that she would let the law take its course. Part of the statement read:

"I now realise I should have taken preventative measures much earlier, such as counselling and/or child therapy, but sometimes the mistake we tend to make as African single mothers is to assume and hope things will work out for the best. Meanwhile, certain past behaviours can affect generations to come.

"With that said, Donell will face his demons and take accountability for his actions and let the law take its course. I refuse to raise a man like his father. Rehab, therapy and internal healing will prevail."
