Twitter praises man who defended his wife against troll: "Give that man a Bell's"
Another man proved that his wife was not to be messed with as Briefly News reported that one man shut down a hater after he slammed his wife for showing off too much skin while they were on holiday in Dubai.
Businessman Neo De Jenero treated his wife, Olwethu Leshabane, to a vacay in Dubai, and the mom of three enjoyed herself so much she posted snaps on her social media accounts. However, one social media user felt no "respected married woman" should post such revealing images on Instagram, nor should she wear a skimpy bathing suit on the beach.
The entrepreneur told the hater he was the one who took the photo his wife posted on Instagram and that he, or she, should not impose a 'dress code' for the beach on anyone, especially his wife.
