Briefly News spoke with relationship expert and psychologist Penny Holburn to gain insights into airing family disputes' impact on public figures' relationships and personal well-being. She said:
"If you air family disputes you will get people weighing in with their comments. Some of these comments may be supportive and others may be hurtful. So you need to be prepared for both. You are also making your relationship public and people will have comments around how you are conducting your relationship.
As with all communication, people will make assumptions about you, because we seldom communicate the full picture. So other people may misinterpret the situation. If you are going to get critical and even hurtful comments, then this will be a blow to your relationship and your personal well-being. "

"At least give her a job at Sompire. That gown can buy her a smallnyana car. That's it. You' re pleasing the wrong people here."
chle_duh stated:
"Living for social media as usual. Go get ur daughter!"
zeenhleko dissed:
"I was so disappointed to hear Somizi is not helping his own blood. We all know that SA has unemployment issues. I'm working but even today my parents still help me there and there. Worse SomG is a millionaire. He can support his only child. Ayi man, these celebrities are selling fake lifestyles to us."
