During the latest episode of The Makhenes, Pauline denied taking Gontse’s boyfriend and explained that it was the other way around. She added that her younger sister has been going around making the allegations against her.

“I think Gontse hates me. One of the things she said was I took her boyfriend from her, which is my children's father, not the other way around. I don't know that until she has conversations with people and they come and tell me, ‘So you did this, and you did that,’ and I'm like, Oh. Wow, OK, I didn't know that,” Pauline said.

Their father, Blondie, confirmed the story that Gontse cheated with Pauline’s baby daddy. He also confirmed the bad blood between his two children, but did not reveal what started the rivalry.

“And you can see, even when she was talking to you, you know, you see that she is like, ‘You're the problem.’ And you didn't study anything. You didn't go and sleep with her boyfriend. She started it,” Blondie said.

Pauline said that she found out that her husband was responsible for the pregnancy when her family brought Gontse to her in-laws. Gontse claimed that Pauline’s husband had raped and impregnated her.

She shared how the affair between Gontse and her husband started.

“I'd asked her to come to my place so that you can make a little bit of money on set with my ex. I guess one thing led to another. I gave them too much trust or room to go, and that was it. Before I knew it, I had a second child who wasn't born from me,” Pauline shared.
