Netizens react to Christall's demands

Shortly after Christall made her demands on social media, many netizens couldn't help but flood the comment section with their opinions regarding the star's alleged rant about payment, especially after she opened up about how she lost all her millions. Here's what they had to say below:

@mfiso_lee said:

"R500,000 for an overseas vacation that's already paid up, must be nice."

@kgothatsohaute wrote:

"R60k for 2 weeks' worth of work seems like a good deal to me."

@MzamoDudula commented:

"If 'talentless' people (The ones who show up, scream, flip tables, and make the show addictive) can start demanding real actor money, then the actual trained actors better level up quick before the Housewives union takes over Hollywood too."

@Reloadedd94 responded:

"R60k is a lot of money, however, she does bring a lot to the platforms she's on compared to what the overall production makes the entire seasons so yes gives Christall Kay her due pay."

@XolsTYQ replied:

"Influencers make more money posting a 3-minute video on TikTok. Good for her!"

@RyanLoneTwin shared:

"She sure is worth it. These streaming platforms make millions, and they give her a simple 60k. All the shows she's been on, she's the drama. Brazil was boring until she showed up."
