Amanda du Pont reacts to Jub Jub’s arrest

Actress Amanda du Pont has broken her silence following her ex-boyfriend Jub Jub’s arrest on allegations of rape, attempted murder, and assault.

Four women have accused the singer and star of Uyajola 9/9, including the model and presenter. After an arrest warrant was issued in his name in the course of last week, the hitmaker turned himself in to the authorities.

After appearing at the Johannesburg Magistrates Court, he was released on R10 000 bail.

The Slay actress took to her social media where she posted a video of herself working out. She shared: “Training is mental, stay strong there, and God will do the rest.”

She added: “Do nothing, and they will talk, do what’s right, and they still talk. I hope I encourage you to have the strength to live your truth. I love you guys and appreciate your support. His Grace is sufficient.”
