Jackie opened up about bad celebrity books

In November 2024, South African author Jackie Phamotse did not hold back when she criticised the low standard of celebrity memoirs. The journalist wrote a lengthy post, ripping into the lacklustre memoirs released by celebrities, saying they lack depth.

"Being an author is not just a title or status symbol; it's a sacred responsibility to craft meaningful, well-researched content. A book's value lies in its substance, not just its marketability. Biographies and memoirs demand a particular level of honesty, vulnerability and depth," she wrote.
