A user with the handle @realnorma_kay reposted the picture, suggesting that Penny Lebyane should cover up because no one wanted to see her thighs.

However, other social media users rallied in Penny Lebyane's defense. Many have had enough of social media users bullying women online. This new outrage over the mistreatment of women comes just weeks after MacG was called out for hateful comments towards Minnie Dlamini. Many took to social media to disagree with the X user who had bashed Penny Lebyane.
