Bianca Coster is speaking her mind again, and this time she put it in a list. The actress and social media personality shared a TikTok on Wednesday, 19 August 2026, laying out everything she feels she deserves after years of being associated with the controversial Chris Excel X account without her consent.

In the clip, reposted by Thando Zulu (@Thando_tz) on X, Bianca listed: a chance to cultivate her own online identity, the version of herself she lost in April 2022, a calm nervous system, an apology from "those girls," an explanation, and simply a break.

For years, [Bianca has been asking people to stop linking her face to the Chris Excel X account](https://www.timeslive.co.za/tshisa-live/tshisa-live/2025-04-18-bianca-coster-opens-up-about-financial-loss-of-chris-excel-using-her-picture/), which has amassed over 3.3 million followers and is known for inflammatory remarks directed at public figures. The account used her photos as its profile picture, leaving her to deal with the reputational fallout.

She previously addressed the situation directly, saying: "Why couldn't he use another picture? Why should I constantly shift and change my life to accommodate this Chris Excel person? He could have used a plant, but he decided to use my face, knowing full well the implications."

Mzansi Divided Over Bianca's TikTok

Not everyone who watched the clip felt sympathetic. Reactions on X were mixed, with some backing Bianca and others questioning her timing.

@boni_tonton wrote: "But no one knows you bra. And your posts trend only when you talk about Chris. Do your things. If you build your image he'll have to remove your pic."

@real_lungelo said: "Now that Chris changed his DP, she doesn't have a leg to stand on. People forgot, yet she keeps crying wolf over a photo. It was always just a picture, she's just mad she isn't as famous."

@OnNontando offered a different take: "She needs to let it go for her own sanity unfortunately. She's giving this way too much power than it deserves."

@Athi1942 was blunt: "Everytime we forget about her she tries the victim card to be relevant again, she has a Facebook account, Instagram, Chris catfish her only on Twitter and he never used her name."

@ganja_farnner, however, held no punches in Bianca's defence: "her only crime was being beautiful. Bro doesn't even see anything wrong with what he did."
