“I was completely shocked, but I followed all instructions. The officers showed me footage demonstrating that I was recorded at 104 km/h. This resulted in what they termed an automatic arrest,” she shared with Sunday World.
Sni Mhlongo: “It Was a Total Nightmare”
If the arrest wasn’t enough, false accusations of intoxication and disorderly behavior started spreading across social media, tarnishing Sni’s public image.
“Emotionally, it was incredibly tough. I found myself questioning what I did to warrant this,” she confessed.
Not only was Sni battling legal issues, but she was also concerned about the potential harm to her career. Some brands chose to pause collaborations while others seemingly disappeared amidst the unverified claims.
“To face court cases publicly while my character was under attack was unbearable.”
