However, Letoya issued a scathing criticism against the allegations.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the actress said that instead of being celebrated for her recent achievements during Women's Month, which include being an advisor in an upcoming series, shooting a telenovela, and starring in two movies that were ranked in the top five locally and in the USA, she had been brought down.

"My family will handle this gracefully, with our heads held up high, and we will hold each other's hands. You don't even stop to think how your tacky write-ups will affect our families, our work and our brands."

She said that she and Lebo wonder how they would have to explain the allegations to the women who have been abused and whom they've assisted. She then ended the post by saying she would continue cooking chicken curry and enjoying her Sunday.
