A close friend of TV personality Aaron Moloisi has responded to online comments about the actor's dramatic weight loss.

The former Take 5 TV presenter trended on social media on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, when his latest photos were shared on X.

BuzzLifeNews revealed on its X account on Thursday, 18 June 2026, that a close friend of Moloisi shared that the TV personality is doing well and asked the public to be kinder in their comments.

"He is okay, guys. He is surviving. People see one picture and immediately assume the worst. The truth is that times are not the same. The years have gone by, and Aaron has not been on television for a while, but he still gets event-hosting gigs and continues to work," said the friend.
