Social media user @AdvoBarryRoux shared the radio personality's statement on his X account on Saturday, 27 December 2025.

"Felix Hlophe’s statement after the incident on Christmas Eve where he became so aggressive that his wife Tracy fled with their kids to a neighbour’s house for safety. Felix followed her, hooting nonstop & demanding access to the kids until neighbours eventually called the police," he captioned the post.

"Tracy and I have consciously chosen peace over conflict, and respect over resentment, and unity over division," said Hlophe.

Social media responds to Hlophe's statement

@DjangoXtra said:

"His spin doctor’s qualifications need to be studied at Unisa."

@Gadfly342043 replied:

"This is not about 'media exaggeration.' It's about self-regulation. If Hlophe does not address his drinking and emotional volatility now, the next incident won't be a statement; it'll be a charge sheet."

@leratomoima23 wrote:

"Tracy ke (is) Rasheeda wa (from) South Africa, she will not leave or get him arrested."

@sihlemafa201 responded:

"Most relationships are like that, where one pocket is full, and the other thinks it is the boss of the relationship. Which is not what love requires. Love needs teamwork and respect for each other."

@MbaliLebona reacted:

"I truly wish Tracy would learn to choose and love herself more. During their reality show, she came across as someone who struggles with low self-esteem, and it seems that her background and family dynamics may have played a role in that. Unfortunately, it also appears that Felix takes advantage of this vulnerability."
