The 'Podcast and Chill' Thursday's celebrity episode has caused a social media storm after Tol Azz Mo's appearance.

The comedian went on the show to express his anger that he was falsely accused of being an abuser by top model Lerato Moloi.

Following the interview, SA has been split on social media as people called out for Lerato to be arrested while feminist activists defended Lerato.

Women For Change joined in the online discussions and said MacG was promoting misogyny by giving Tol Azz Mo a platform to verbally attack his accuser.

The organisation that advocates against gender-based violence posted a thread of tweets and said that as a result of the episode, women were getting death threats from their abusers.

"Maybe he should stop giving alleged, abusers, and murderers a platform, and he won't lose sponsorship."

The podcast's host MacG was called disgusting by the organisation and said he should be held accountable.

@maroga_lerato wrote:

"You emotionally abuse us, when we open up you say we have anger issues. Men must speak up we are tired of being taken for granted."

@BlackWizSA said:

"Can you acknowledge the injustice that happened to Mo and his family? He is innocent, and the woman accusing him of a heinous crime has a history of lying. His anger is justified, and I hope he gets justice against Lerato Moloi."
