Heartbroken Thatohatsi responds to bodyshaming from 'Piano Pulse Podcast'

In her story posts, she shared several videos that can be interpreted as a cry for help, including a clip of comedian Mpho "Popps" Modikoane speaking about his declining mental state.

"Not suicidal, but I wouldn't mind if I die. You get to a point where you're just physically tired and broken. At some point, the depression goes from being something mental to being something physical."

This comes after Thatohatsi was shamed by the Piano Pulse Podcast hosts and guest Nota Baloyi over her petite appearance during one of their episodes.

The singer shared a video of herself overwhelmed with emotions and holding back her tears as she processed the hurtful comments made about her. With nearly a million views and thousands of comments, the video serves as a haunting visual record of the damage caused by cyberbullying.

Recently, DJ Maphorisa called out the podcasters for their continued criticism of his career, questioning what he had done to deserve their persistent disrespect.

As fans and peers rush to offer their support, the incident has ignited a fierce nationwide outcry, with a growing movement calling for the permanent cancellation of the controversial podcast over its history of targeted harassment of local artists.
