In his tweets, Nota Baloyi referenced Dineo’s personal life, accusing her of having children out of wedlock and subjecting them to a traumatic childhood.
A narcissist hypocrite… As Penuel would say, f*ck them kids. Deadbeats on a high horse shaming every decent person that believes in good family values & didn’t let fame or big city life corrupt their morals. She must deal with the consequences of her choices like an adult. Fool! https://t.co/DHzYVpvhan pic.twitter.com/jhgLuPv1TW

He also claimed that she had mistreated their fathers and publicly humiliated them for reality TV.
Nota went on to question the difficulty of Dineo’s radio job and suggested she interview the cleaning staff at KayaFM to learn about their challenges in raising children.
Dineo Ranaka went onair at Kaya FM calling me an abuser & made me out to be an unstable person… She body shamed women I worked with on air before & never apologised even after I told her manager & I’ve still been fair to her. She loves attention, why have kids if you’re selfish?

There’s a man struggling to take care of himself, breaking his back day & night just trying to ensure he doesn’t go to bed hungry with no sympathy. A celebrity then posts about how it’s so hard to manage all the opportunities life has given her so now she wants to kill herself.🤬

Furthermore, Nota revealed that during a heart-to-heart conversation, Dineo Ranaka pretended to be empathetic about his struggles with his wife’s mental illness but later witnessed her defaming him.
He expressed frustration at the lack of sympathy he receives as a man striving to provide for himself while Dineo portrays her own difficulties with managing opportunities as a reason for wanting to take her own life.
I had a heart to heart with Dineo Ranaka about how difficult it has been for me to stand by my wife even though her mental illness has progressed to the point where she’s not functional. She pretended to be empathetic only to watch her make my seriously distressed wife defame me!
