There is reportedly trouble in paradise for actress Letoya Makhene and her wife Lebohang Pulumo Keswa. Things were so bad that Letoya attempted suicide after Lebohang left her. It is reported that Lebohang, who married Letoya in 2020, opened up about their seperation to a close friend via text messages.
The Home Wrecker star is accused of cheating on her wife with a Nigerian drug dealer and a lesbian side chick. She is also accused of sleeping with the drug dealer in exchange for drugs.
Speaking about Letoya’s suicide attempt, Lebohang told her friend that the first incident took place in October after the former Generations:The Legacy actress allegedly burned her wife with boiling water.
“I told her I didn’t want the marriage anymore, and that same week she overdosed on tablets and tried to commit suicide. And this is when I took her to the doctor, and he referred her to a psychiatric hospital, and she had agreed at the time to go, and I was making arrangements only for her to later change her mind and say it’s dlozi (ancestors’) stuff she will sort herself out,” Lebohang’s message read.
In another incident, according to the friend who spoke to Sunday World, Letoya claimed the drug dealer she allegedly slept with had raped her.
“She said they had visited friends in Joburg and Letoya passed out after drinking too much. She stated that she took their children and left Letoya behind.
“Later on, Letoya went to Norwood, [Joburg] where she met with this drug dealer and asked him to give her cocaine in exchange for sex. She said when she confronted her, Letoya said the drug dealer raped her and threatened to press criminal charges against him. But Lebo was not convinced,” said the friend. Letoya, who is also a sangoma and a singer, is also accused of gender-based violence. According to the friend, the actress assaulted Lebohang in Tzaneen between 16 and 18 December 2022.
The couple also made headlines in August last year after claims that Lebohang had physically assaulted Letoya. However, the House of Zwide actress denied the claims in a statement that she shared on Instagram.
In the now-deleted statement, she said: “I have initiates here at my home. So my home is very sacred and peaceful. We respect ancestors. If I backtrack to the date, I have sisters who look exactly like me. It could have been my sister Gontse.”
She continued: “Frankly I’m getting tired of journalists from @thesundayworld calling me and my wife about one thing and then writing stories that have absolutely nothing to do with what they even called about.
“How is that ethical? You don’t even stop to think how your tacky write ups will affect our families, our work and our brands. What happened to investigating a story?
“So basically I can make up a lie about someone who’s life I want to destroy and some journalist will happily write about it just because it’s possibly going to sell papers that we have to admit no one is interested in buying anymore,” she wrote in part.
