South African media personality Minnie Dlamini has found an unexpected defender in her ex-boyfriend, Dr Brian Monaisa, following crude and controversial remarks made by podcaster MacG.
MacG, known for his provocative style on the popular Podcast and Chill, recently implied—without evidence—that Minnie’s alleged “unpleasant odor” might have contributed to the breakdown of her recent relationship. The comment sparked outrage online, with many labeling it disrespectful, misogynistic, and a violation of personal dignity.
In response, Dr Brian Monaisa, a well-known plastic surgeon and Minnie’s former partner, came forward to publicly defend her, dismissing the rumors as unfounded and offensive.
“I spent time with Minnie. These kinds of comments are not only hurtful but completely false,” Monaisa said. “No one deserves to be spoken about in such a degrading way, especially without any basis.”
Monaisa urged the public and media to respect privacy and dignity, particularly when discussing sensitive matters involving a woman’s body. He also questioned the motive behind MacG’s comments, suggesting they were made for shock value rather than truth.
Social media has since erupted with debate, with many calling for accountability from MacG and greater responsibility in media discourse, especially regarding women’s bodies and reputations.
Minnie Dlamini has not issued a direct statement on the matter, but supporters have rallied behind her, urging an end to body shaming and public humiliation in the name of entertainment.
