RHOJ star Brinnette Seopela says goodbye to reality TV

Former Real Housewives of Johannesburg (RHOJ) reality star and businesswoman Brinnette Seopela reveals she is quitting reality TV.

According to news publication, The South African, the reality star who appeared in the first and second seasons of the show won’t be doing reality TV due to her wanting to focus on her mental health.

Speaking to entertainment publication, ZiMoja, Brinnette stated that being on TV made her become more of an open book where she would herself have to reveal a lot of things regarding her life, adding, “It is something that she will never do again and I learnt the hard way. TV is toxic, and unfortunately, I am old for that.”

It was also reported that in 2021, Brinnette and Dj Tira’s wife and businesswoman Gugu Khathi allegedly assaulted one of Brinnette’s cast members Christall Kay- one of the eight ladies on The Ultimate Trip South Africa- during production shooting for the reality TV show and although that never aired both Christall and Brinnette didn’t appear in the third season.

Despite the RHOJ reality show being canned before airing its fourth season due to alleged issues between the production team and executive producer and actress Sonia Mbele. The reality star is adamant about not wanting a public life.

ZiMoja also reported that Brinnette divorced her first husband Themba Genzani after five months together and later married her second husband Samkelo Mvelase who she was estranged before his untimely death late last year.
