Yoh, what a horrible way to end the year! South African reality TV star Mpho Wa Badimo is reportedly embroiled in a significant legal matter related to her association with the popular salon, Zuree Hair.

According to Daily Sun, the former Big Brother Mzansi winner is allegedly facing a R600K lawsuit alongside Zuree Hair salon owner, Lehlogonolo Annette Nkuna.

The Springs Mall consortium is reportedly suing the two ladies for a lease breach of over R600K. Zuree Hair offered fat injections, microblading, makeup, microneedling, laser lipo and many other procedures.

In a summons that was seen by the publication, the owner and the TV personality allegedly breached their lease agreement.

"The first defendant had breached the terms of their lease agreement as they failed to make payment of their monthly rental and charges as agreed. They are currently in arrears of over R163K in respect of the period as set out and computed on the exposition of the first defendant's account," it reads.

However, this isn't the first time that Mpho Wa Badimo was involved in a messy scandal, as in September 2025, she was accused of scamming her clients.

In 2023, the 31-year-old star claimed to be the co-owner of the salon on her social media page and shared a video of her walking into it; however, a source claimed that she was never the owner to begin with and that it was just a publicity stunt after she squandered her R2M winning from Big Brother Mzansi.

"Mpho is not the owner; she only asked Annette to shoot a reality TV show there because she was embarrassed that her winnings from Big Brother were finished and hadn't done anything tangible. It was just for publicity," the source revealed.

Mpho Wa Badimo shares important message to fans

Briefly News previously reported that in February 2025, Mpho wa Badimo shared another important message with her fans and followers. Speaking in a video shared on X by MDN News, the mother of two warned fans against picking up coins in their yards.

She said the coins may be cursed, and picking them may cause problems and bad luck in their lives. Social media users did not seem to agree with the reality TV star. As expected, many brought up Mpho's past and reminded her of how she was swindled out of two million by her baby daddy, Themba Broly.
