Generations: The Legacy actress Zoe Mthiyane said she was fired by producers days after she collapsed on set due to intimidation from one of co-star Rapulana Seiphemo’s girlfriends on the soap opera SABC1 and emotional fatigue. Details emerged this week.
According to those close to her, the actress blamed Seiphemo for her dismissal, claiming that she could no longer concentrate on her work due to depression and harassment from the actor’s girlfriend, who is an administrative officer on the popular Monday through Friday soap opera. .
Although her friends claimed she was granted special leave to focus on her personal problems, other members of the production team have suggested that the soap opera producers kicked the actress because they could no longer tolerate the actress’s behavior.
Generations publicist Nandipha Phansi confirmed the departure of the actress from the second most watched telenovela in the country.
She said, “Zoe is not part of the next season of Generations: The Legacy. His contract was not renewed. “
She confirmed that she was not currently part of the soap opera.
“Yes, I am currently on leave, however I cannot comment further on that,” he said.
But when asked about claims that she broke down on set, the actress said the incident was reported by emotional fatigue and harassment from a girl who was in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend Seiphemo.
Other details believed to have played a role in Mthiyane’s firing included claims that she showed off drunk on set.
Mthiyane denied ever going to work drunk and said the lies were sold by people who wanted to catch her.
This information, sources say, was relayed to the producers by Seiphemo’s girlfriend, who, according to Mthiyane, has always had problems with her because they were dating the same man.
In detailing the incident during which Mthiyane collapsed, a member of the production team said that they were filming numerous scenes according to their schedule when Mthiyane suddenly fainted.
The source said that an ambulance had to be called and that she was rushed to the hospital where she was observed.
“The actors work long hours and the working conditions are horrible. Zoe’s body couldn’t take it anymore, mostly because she was going through a difficult time in her personal life, ”said the source.
Another source said Mthiyane also suffered from depression and that being a single mother and working long hours took its toll. But another member of the production team was sympathetic to Mthiyane and said the actress was the target of some girls from the soap opera, who had teamed up with her friend to thwart her work.
“There is a lot of jealousy and malice.
There are three influential women who have mistreated her and they hope she will feel frustrated and leave the program, ”said the source.
Seiphemo read the questions sent to him, but chose not to comment prior to posting.
