Pale addresses eating claims
Palesa "Pale" Motanyane is the latest housemate to leave Big Brother Mzansi after serving juicy gossip and meals.
However, despite her cheerful personality, she suffered major backlash online. Due to being plus-sized, Pale became the target of several online jokes about her eating.
In a Facebook post, the former housemate said she was stunned to read all the posts about her weight:
"Never in a million years did I ever imagine that I would come back to reading endless posts and direct messages from people telling me how 'disgusting' I looked because of my body."
Besides the cyberbullying, Pale told Briefly News that she had a wonderful experience on the show:
"It was filled with ups and downs, regrettable incidents and life-changing lessons. The good definitely outweighs the bad. I made some amazing connections with some housemates that I look forward to pursuing in the outside world after the show."
She went on to talk about her plans:
"I will be venturing into different projects including the culinary industry. Being on BBM and seeing all the social media trolling inspired me to turn my love and passion for cooking into a business.
"I will continue to work on growing my flower, events and gifting company (PM Celebrations). I’d love to explore opportunities in broadcast media and also just enjoy the most important thing to me - motherhood."
Mzansi reacts to Pale's departure
The jokes (read "insults") were flying, and netizens dragged Pale over her eating habits and ultimate eviction from Biggie's house:
KagisoTeffo3 trolled Pale:
"Pale, BBM has run out of food, and it is all your fault."
Davidzaga_ was reaching:
"Big Brother Mzansi's Pale has consumed food that is valued at R50k. Allegedly, she's soon to be evicted in fear that she might run BBM to bankruptcy with her eating habits."
pellelilly said:
"I think she had an eating problem, and behind that lies a deeper issue as well."
primy_thompson claimed:
"It's easy to spot someone if she came for the food. Remember those aunties in the funeral pretending to help around while they take food home for their kids?"
