TV personality Tol Ass Mo real name Mongezi Mahlangu left Mzansi into a media feeding frenzy after an image of him surfaced online looking overly cosy with a new woman after he announced his divorce from his ex-wife, celebrity stylist and fashion designer Mome Mahlangu, on Tuesday.
The images which were posted by controversial entertainment blogger Musa Khawula had netizens in mixed reactions as they called out the comedian for moving on quickly after his ex-wife, Mome had stuck around during his difficult times.
According to Sunday World, Tol Ass Mo was allegedly accused of sexually abusing model Lerato Moloi back in 2014. The model proceeded to filing a complaint against the comedian. Tol Ass Mo endured a two-year legal fight that reportedly interfered with both his personal and professional life. But through it all his now separated wife was still there, demonstrating her devotion to him and loyalty by remaining during his toughest moments.
The comedian was later cleared of the model and actress Lerato Moloi’s sexual assault allegations, according to the Citizen.
Fast forward during an interview on DJ Fresh’s WAW: What A Week podcast in July, the comedian revealed that he and Mome were in the middle of filing for divorce.
During the interview with DJ Fresh the comedian disclosed that he is no longer interested in black women because they “traumatise” him.
“It’s me that’s walking away, Fresh… I am f**ken traumatised. I am traumatised by black women. I’m traumatised to a point that I don’t want to have a black wife again,” he said during the interview.
After seeing the images of Tol Ass Mo and his alleged new bae, social media users were shocked that he had not only moved on but had been photographed kissing a black woman.
