The war between Ratile Mabitsela and her former in-laws has returned to the mainstream media after the reality TV star was slammed with more explosive allegations.
After the death of her once-estranged husband Elias Lehlogonolo Mabitsela in February 2025, his family was accused of sidelining her and their children, specifically in the statement announcing Mabitsela's passing, in which he was referred to as a "beloved brother and son," despite his roles as husband and father.
More details of an alleged battle between Ratile and her husband's family have since spilled into public conversation, with Lehlogonolo's sister allegedly being at the forefront.
Months after his passing, his sister Lauren accused Ratile of selling her brother's prized Mercedes-Benz Maybach and acting like a victim. On 4 February 2026, she allegedly doubled down after accusing her former sister-in-law of misappropriating her children's inheritance.

X (formerly Twitter) user SA_gossiplab posted a screenshot of an Instagram post made by an account named thee_lau_, which is said to be Lauren's.
The post threw shade at an unnamed individual, accusing them of getting a Brazilian Bum Lift (BBL) with money meant for "the children." It featured a meme of an AI-generated baby staring blankly at the screen.
"That person got a BBL with the children's money?"

Known for her petite frame, the mother of three was accused of using the money her late husband left for their children to fund her rumoured cosmetic procedure.
While the jab remains unverified, it contrasts previous reports that Lehlogonolo Mabitsela had left a huge debt behind that placed his company at risk of liquidation.
The reactions to the claims were immediate, and the online community wasted no time in discussing the alleged long-standing tension between Ratile and her late husband's family.

"Did she want the money to be left to her? Lol."
TlaleLynn asked:
"That sis in-law must drink water. If the money was left to her, was she going to look after the brother's kids?"
