Nonku Williams and Beverly Steyn came out of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip - South Africa” having formed quite a friendship that left many reality TV fans in doubt.
Now it seems that the cracks in the friendship between Williams and Steyn have finally come to light. Dressed in her Versace gown, Steyn revealed that she was “done” with an unnamed person and tired of protecting this person.
“Done creating a narrative to protect your image when people ask me what's going on between the two of us. I can tell you one thing: whatever happens in the dark comes to light, and I'm done.
“I'm done with allowing you to betray me. I'm done with allowing you to use m,e and I'm done with covering up your shame.
“But anyway, back to you. I'm also done with allowing you to behave like the victim in all of this, and I'm done creating a narrative to protect your image when people ask me what's going on between the two of us. Look, I'm just done,” said Steyn.
In her video, Steyn doesn't mention any names, but fans were able to put two and two together and concluded that she was talking about “The Real Housewives of Durban” castmember Williams.
When “The Real Housewives of Durban” (Williams) and “The Real Housewives of Cape Town” (Steyn) stars formed a friendship, there were plenty of doubts over the authenticity of the friendship.
Williams' friendship with Steyn even caused a dent in her friendship with “The Real Housewives of Durban” castmate Jojo Robinson.
Steyn confirmed in an interview with News24 that she was referring to Williams and that the fallout was because of monies owed to her by Williams.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share my experience of being defrauded by someone I once considered my closest friend. Nonku Williams, who represents herself as a pastor and a woman of faith, deceived me with lies and manipulation,” she told the publication.
Steyn revealed that Williams initially wanted R2 million from her but never gave her that much, but “still trusted her with a substantial amount of money”.
“The money was never a gift. We signed an agreement, and she was meant to pay it back within 30 days,” said Steyn.
Steyn also told the publication that summonses are expected to be issued to Williams.
The fallout between Williams and Steyn has taken reality TV fans back in time to “The Real Housewives of Durban” reunion, where Williams was a no-show but her castmates made sure to bring up the consequences of her new friendship.
Williams is yet to address Steyn’s claims but has been posting content on Instagram from Cape Town, where she is even seen at Media24’s building.
