How To Ruin Christmas star Denise Zimba’s explosive affidavit has laid bare the messiness of her marriage to German husband, Jakob Schlichtig. The pair separated in March 2023.
According to Briefly News, Denise took to social media to share that she was now raising her kids as a single parent.
Yo guys! I am going through it!
My friends are going through it. People I know are going through it. People I have met, are going through it. I AM GOING TO IT, TO GO THROUGH IT AND GET THROUGH IT!

Their divorce and custody battle has played out in the Johannesburg High Court and the issues range from infidelity, and emotional abuse to making Jakob’s cat a priority over support from her mother, according to Sunday World.
The publication stated that Denise alleged that Jakob refused to cover the cost of her mother’s flight from South Africa to Germany to help with their children. Yet, according to Denise, he readily spent money on a veterinarian when his cat fell ill.
The affidavit also sheds light on what Jakob survived.
There was a physical assault in which Denise allegedly threw a box of baby formula at Jakob’s face while he was holding their two-year girl, according to Sunday World.
