Pearl Thusi is furious at Nota Baloyi for calling her a deadbeat mother and a helicopter parent.
In a recent interview with some young podcast presenters, the critic ranted about how Pearl was never available for her kids.
Wow. Just wow. https://t.co/DW8yk0LTW1

The veteran actress poured out her anger at Nota for dragging her kids; she says the allegations are untrue and triggering as it hurts her.
“Apart from the reality of this situation- there’s also how I’ve struggled to provide yet balance being there for my kids for big and little things… With microscopes on me at different angles. This allegation is not only untrue but also hurtful/triggering.”
Pearl defended herself in series of tweets and she’s set to go at war against him.
“My life, my career choices and even coming back to South Africa – was centered around my children. I realigned my vision and goals to make sure I could be here for them and provide for them and the idea that someone can wake up and decide to say whatever suites their narrative,” she wrote.
“Because no one holds them accountable is ridiculous. Whatever happens – I’ll rest knowing I tried to defend myself and my kids therefore teaching them that no man or woman has the right to attack them unprovoked and wrongfully.”
“I take a lot of sh*t here- this isn’t going to be one of those times. NOT WITH MY KIDS!!!!!!!”
She spoke about how the world is unfair to black women, as black women has been consistently trolled and dragged on social media.
1- I have two children (that I love, live with and I pay for everything)
2- I’m a black woman.
Why are white women never targeted- because they are feared for some reason.
Backing down is never an option when it comes to my kids and the lessons o teach them. https://t.co/Ee7TZ15tRH— Pearl Thusi (@PearlThusi) July 16, 2022
Lastly- women in this country can’t allow abusive men to think they can do or say whatever they feel like because the internet isn’t regulated.
I’ve decided to choose my battles, yes. But I’m not a pushover!
& I hope other women can learn from those who stand up for themselves.— Pearl Thusi (@PearlThusi) July 16, 2022
Imagine people refusing to work with me because I kept quiet and didn’t refute these allegations.
We work with many family brands who will not understand that this guy is a lunatic (allegedly 🙃)This rubbish has an impact on how we provide for our families (believe it or not)

Imagine being a single mom who overseas EVERYTHING in your kids and even involved in extended families’ kids lives and waking up to@this shit?!?
I’m not mad. I’m not upset. I’m furious.
