A public co-parenting dispute took a shocking turn after a man responded publicly to a deadbeat accusation.
The story, shared on X by @TheTruthZAR, sparked a huge response from the online community, which showed support for the man and expressed outrage at the woman's attempt to humiliate him.
A woman, whose posts have since been deleted, allegedly accused her baby daddy of being a deadbeat who did not want to see the child or pay anything towards them. In one of the posts captured before she deleted them, she shared a picture of herself and the man from happier times, with her head on his shoulder. She captioned it, saying she wasn't one to share personal matters online, but was pushed to.
A co-parenting dispute
She added that the man got her pregnant and promised to take care of her and their daughter, but they had since had a rollercoaster co-parenting relationship with him. In response, the man shared screenshots of a monthly R4,000 payment made to an account saved as Palesa Twala.

SA lambasts the baby mama
The comments section was filled with reactions from social media users who were stunned and lambasted the woman for painting a bad picture of the man. Many were happy that the man showed proof of payments, saying that if she added her R4K, the child would have R8K, and that was enough to live on.
Some were curious why she deleted the posts if she was sincere and why she locked her account afterwards. Others cautioned internet users not to quickly believe negative things said about baby daddies, suggesting their exes might be bitter after their breakup
User @GodPenuel said:
"Women who are angry or broken after a breakup should never be allowed to make decisions about a child without a qualified and impartial 3rd party validating that decision. Their mental state is normally unwell and not healthy for the child. Society turns a blind eye to this."
User @SithaleKgaogelo shared:
"If she pops out her R4k, it’s clean R8k."
User @DeeCover611 commented:
"After giving birth, they always act like they own you and have a very bad attitude. When you decide to choose peace and leave, they act like you’re irresponsible."
User @Miz_Ruraltarain added:
"Well done, and keep taking care of your child."
User @iAmKudaMaynard said:
"It was clear as day she was bitter and out to get him. Also, her vulgar replies to people, calling their mothers bad names, just showed who the bad person was. Thankfully, this lad has saved himself. Now she has run away."
User @JoziGunner asked:
"Hey, guys. I'm having the same issue. I'm a single dad. I earn R9k a month, and my baby mama is threatening me for R6k in child support, or she’s going to the police. Can anyone please advise me? It’s not fair."
