Twitter (X) user MDN News shared a video of Itumeleng speaking about being painted as a liar:

"I'm coming to terms with the fact that not everybody has to like me. I wouldn't have opened a criminal case if something criminal didn't happen.
"If they don't prosecute, don't assume there was a lie; sometimes it's because there's not enough evidence. I'm going to tell my story from beginning to end, but I cannot predict what the outcome will be. All I know is that I'm not telling a lie.
"I'll continue being the goofy self that I've been. You tried to take that away from me. You tried to make me afraid; it's not gonna happen. I'm gonna continue living my life; you won't stop me."

"These clout-chasing slay queens are the reason why real victims aren’t believed. Look at her being shameless."

"Imagine referring to such a situation as 'drama.'"

"She doesn't sound like a person who got violated; she's enjoying this moment of being in the spotlight."

Meanwhile, others took Itumeleng's side and hoped she gets justice:

lm_wu defended Itumeleng:

"Only the two of them know what happened; we hope the truth prevails. She may be laughing, but we don’t know what she is dealing with."

malema_pk said:

"The obsessive ideation that men can be falsely accused of rape is a sick form of victim-blaming that generously offers men the presumption of innocence but posits that women’s experiences of sexual abuse can be questioned because of the presumption of guilt."
