It Was Worth Everysinglerand -unathi Nkayi On Spending Over R750k On A Lawsuit

Singer and radio personality Unathi Nkayi recently reflected on spending over R750K on a defamation of character lawsuit.

Unathi was speakingat the Dynamics of Modern Law conference, where she opened up about her experiences in the entertainment industry.

She said she took a giant media company to court after it reported that she cheated on her now ex-husband with her gym instructor.

As a black single woman, your reputation and dignity are everything. So, being labelled as a person who cheats on her husband with her personal trainer destroyed me, she said.

The former Idols SA judge emphasized that her decision to pursue legal action was not solely for herself but also for future generations.

Idid that because when people tell our stories, they tell them from their point of view. I needed to make sure five generations from nowwould not thinkthat Iwas a homewrecker that broke up my family.

Ispent over R750K on that lawsuit, and [they] paid me R20K back. But it was worth everysingle rand I spent,she added.

Celebrities, including Simphiwe Ngema , Ayanda Thabethe, Lira, and others, have since reacted toUnathisstory on Instagram.
