Being famous seems glamorous and fun until people don’t know where to draw the line with your personal stuff.
South African content creator Mihlali Ndamase quashed rumours that she may be pregnant.
This comes after a video of her dancing with a friend went viral.
In the video of Ndamase donned in a blown knit dress and a black unbuttoned leather trench coat, you can see that her tummy is bloated, which is common in most women. However, some people jumped to conclusions that she could be pregnant.

However, some people jumped to conclusions and said she could be pregnant. A few days later, she posted a video on her Instagram stories addressing the rumours. She intentionally wore low-rise jeans and a white cropped top to show off her flat tummy, proving there was no bun in the oven. “Apparently nithi [you say] I’m pregnant, plz [please[ man, I was just bloated in that reel. Can we stop policing women’s bodies in 2024 bakithi [people]”. People have not learnt to stop talking about women’s bodies because they did it to former Miss South Africa Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni and now they are doing it to Ndamase. In addressing the rumours, Laurie-Mthombeni had to record a video to call out the gossipers spreading rumours about her. “This culture of wanting to be seen or wanting to be first, you guys need to stop it. When women are ready to tell you whether or not they want to procreate, or whether or not they are pregnant, or whether or not they will be expecting, they will do so within their time,” she said at the time. People must learn not to speak about people’s bodies because really, it’s not their place.A few days later, she posted a video on her Instagram stories addressing the rumours.
