"No, she is the lastborn of the family. If I remember correctly. Yhooo, what a change. Took me so long to recognise."

"Yep, they used to sing together in a group called Skool Gilrz."

@BotsheloBophelo reacted:

"Parenting is a full-time job; I suspect that their parents didn't do that job. They may have lived in the same house as a family, but they left the children to parent themselves."

@obonwer responded:

"The downside of childhood fame with little parental boundaries. Vultures are many."

@Lambo_gal said:

"It’s so heartbreaking to see her turn out like this."

@MrsGibsonn reacted:

"She looks old enough to be her father’s husband at this point, though she’s the baby sister."

@NontsikeleloG16 wrote:

"She used to be so pretty growing up, and she is the lastborn, but now she looks way older than her older sisters. Drugs are demonic."

@Leefiery responded:

"They lost their mom while she was still in primary school. I suspect that loss derailed her."
