Mihlali Ndamase has expressed regret to the LGBTQIA+ community for disparaging remarks she made about her former partner, Leeroy Sidambe.
This week, Mihlali caused a controversy on Instagram during a live chat, implying that Leeroy is bisexual by referring to him as a “double adapter” and “after-nine.”
Because of the disparaging language used during the live discussion, the influencer received blowback.
The YouTuber apologised to the community affected by the terms in a message she posted on her Instagram stories.
“I would like to apologise to LGBTQIA+ family; my intention was not to harm or offend with the phrases used during my live.”
“I acknowledge that a significant portion of my support comes from the LGBTQIA+ community, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the love and support you have shown me since the beginning of my career,” she wrote.
