An episode that included a steamy intimate shower scene on Showmax’s Adulting season two between Thembi Seete, who plays the character Portia, and Luthando BU Mthembu, who plays Vuyani, shocked many, sparking mixed reactions from social media users.
Thembi joined the new season of the Adulting to play the character of Portia, a rich housewife who is a lover of finer things. Recently opening up about the intimate scene to news publication Sunday World, the mother of one shared that the scene was the most intimate she has ever portrayed.
“My intimate scenes have never been this intimate. It really felt like it was my first time acting, and that’s the beauty about acting,” commented the Boom Shaka group member.
Thembi also shared with the publication that she agreed to play the role which is a bit different from the roles she’s played before, to fulfil her dream of working with Tshedza Pictures.

Others commented on how Thembi has managed to stay relevant through out her years in the public, commenting:
Thembi Seete is a perfect definition of an imbokoto. 70’s and 80’s danced to her music. The 90’s and 2k’s are watching her on the TV. She deserves her flowers, she stood the test of time. Chipi ke Chipi, chipi ke Thembi Seete.

The only thing wrong with that Thembi Seete scene is that they didn’t cast me in that shower with her?
